the financial  statements  and the notes to the financial  statements of Stanton
Federal Savings Bank. References in this document to "we", "us", and "our" refer

The Companies

                              SFSB Holding Company
                             900 Saxonburg Boulevard

                                 (412) 487-4200

         SFSB Holding Company is not an operating company and has not engaged in
any  significant  business  to  date.  It  was  formed  in  October  1997  as  a
Pennsylvania-chartered corporation to be the holding company for Stanton Federal
Savings Bank. The holding company structure will provide greater  flexibility in
terms of operations, expansion and diversification. See page 37.

                          Stanton Federal Savings Bank
                             900 Saxonburg Boulevard

                                 (412) 487-4200

         Stanton Federal  Savings Bank began  operations in 1890 under the name,
"F.L. Jahn Building and Loan." We are a community and customer  oriented federal
mutual savings bank. We provide financial services to individuals,  families and
small businesses. Historically, we have emphasized residential mortgage lending,
primarily  originating one- to four-family mortgage loans. At September 30, 1997
we had total  assets of $37.8  million,  deposits  of $33.9  million,  and total
retained earnings of $3.5 million. See pages 37 to 48.

The Stock Offering

   
         ^ SFSB Holding  Company is offering  between 467,500 and 632,500 shares
of common  stock ^ at $10 per  share.  As a result  of  changes  in  market  and
financial  conditions prior to completion of the conversion or to fill the order
of our  employee  stock  ownership  plan and  subject  to the  Office  of Thrift
Supervision  approval,  we may increase the offering ^ to 727,375 shares without
further  notice to you. ^ If an increase in the offering  size is approved,  you
will not have the  opportunity  to change or cancel any stock  order  previously
delivered to us. See page 23.
    

Stock Purchase Priorities

   
         The shares of common  stock  will be  offered on the basis of  purchase
priorities.  Certain  depositor or borrower  members^ will receive  subscription
rights  to  purchase  the  shares.  The  shares  will be  offered  first  in a ^
subscription  offering  and any  remaining  shares may be offered in a community
offering or a public offering.  We have engaged Ryan, Beck & Co., Inc. to assist
in the selling of common stock on a best-efforts basis. See pages 17 to 19.

Subscription Rights

         You may not sell or assign your  subscription  rights.  Any transfer of
subscription rights is prohibited by law. See page 17.

The Offering Range and Determination of the Price Per Share

         The  offering  range  is  based  on an  independent  appraisal  of  the
estimated  market value of the common stock by FinPro,  Inc., an appraisal  firm
experienced in appraisals of savings institutions. FinPro has estimated, that in
its opinion as of November 24, 1997 the aggregate  estimated market value of the
common  stock  ranged  between  $4,675,000  and  $6,325,000  (with a midpoint of
$5,500,000).  The estimated  market value of the shares is our estimated  market
value after giving effect to the sale of shares in this offering.

         The  appraisal  was  based in part  upon our  financial  condition  and
operations and the effect of the additional capital raised by the sale of common
stock in this offering. The $10.00 price per share


   
was  determined by our board of directors and is the price most commonly used in
stock  offerings  involving  conversions  of mutual  savings  institutions.  The
independent  appraisal  will  be  updated  prior  to  the  consummation  of  the
conversion.  If the updated estimated market value of the common stock is either
below  $4,675,000  or above  $7,273,750,  you will be notified and will have the
opportunity to modify or cancel your order. See pages 22 to 23.
    

Termination of the Offering

   
         The ^ subscription offering will terminate at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time,
on __________ ____, 1998. The ^ community  offering or public offering,  if any,
may  terminate  at any  time  without  notice  but no later  than 45 days  after
completion of the ^ subscription offering, without approval by the OTS. See page
19.
    

Benefits to Management from the Offering

   
         Our  full-time  employees  will  participate  in the  offering  through
individual  purchases  and  purchases of stock by our employee  stock  ownership
plan,  which  is a form of  retirement  plan.  We also  intend  to  implement  a
restricted  stock  plan and a stock  option  plan,  no  earlier  than six months
following  completion  of the  conversion,  which may benefit the  President and
other  officers and  directors.  However,  the  restricted  stock plan and stock
option  plan may not be adopted  until after the  conversion  and are subject to
stockholder  approval and  compliance  with OTS  regulations.  ^ If we adopt the
restricted  stock plan ^, our executive  officers and directors  will be awarded
common stock at no cost to them. See pages 57 to 61.
    

Use of the Proceeds Raised from the Sale of Common Stock

   
         SFSB Holding  Company  will use a portion of the net proceeds  from the
stock  offering  to  purchase  all the  common  stock to be  issued by us in the
conversion and to make a loan to our employee  stock  ownership plan to fund its
purchase of stock in the conversion.  ^ After payment for our common stock, SFSB
Holding  Company  will retain the funds  received  in the stock  offering as its
initial  capitalization.  ^ We will use the  proceeds  of the sale of the common
stock to make  investments and fund loans.  See page 4 for the range of offering
proceeds.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dividends

   
         SFSB does not expect to ^ pay dividends during the first year following
the  conversion.  We may establish a dividend  policy after the first year.  See
page 5.
    

Market for the Common Stock

   
         Since the size of the offering is relatively small, it is unlikely that
an active and liquid trading  market will develop and be  maintained.  Investors
should have a long-term investment intent.  Persons purchasing shares may not be
able to sell their  shares  when they desire or sell them at a price equal to or
above $10.00.  Following the completion of the Offering,  it is anticipated that
the SFSB common stock will be traded on the OTC Bulletin  Board.  Ryan,  Beck is
expected to make a market in the common stock.  However,  Ryan, Beck will not be
subject to any obligation with respect to such efforts. See page 5.
    

Important Risks in Owning Common Stock

         Before you decide to purchase  stock in the  offering,  you should read
the Risk Factors section on pages 1-3 of this document.

                                  RISK FACTORS

         In  addition  to the other  information  in this  document,  you should
consider carefully the following risk factors in evaluating an investment in our
common stock.

Potential  Impact of Changes in  Interest  Rates and the Current  Interest  Rate
Environment

         Our ability to make a profit, like that of most financial institutions,
is substantially  dependent on our net interest income,  which is the difference
between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets (e.g. such as
mortgage loans and investment securities) and the interest expense we pay on our
interest-bearing  liabilities  (such as  deposits  and  borrowings).  All of our
mortgage  loans have rates of interest  which are fixed for the term of the loan
("fixed  rate") and are originated  with terms of up to 30 years,  while deposit
accounts   have   significantly   shorter   terms  to   maturity.   Because  our
interest-earning  assets  generally have fixed rates of interest and have longer
effective  maturities than our  interest-bearing  liabilities,  the yield on our
interest-earning assets generally will adjust more slowly to changes in interest
rates than the cost of our  interest-bearing  liabilities.  As a result, our net
interest income will be adversely  affected by material and prolonged  increases
in interest rates. In addition,  rising interest rates may adversely  affect our
earnings  because  there  might be a lack of  customer  demand  for  loans.  See
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations -- Asset/Liability Management."

         Changes in interest rates also can affect the average life of loans and
mortgage-backed securities. Historically, lower interest rates in recent periods
have resulted in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed  securities,
as borrowers refinanced their mortgages in order to reduce their borrowing cost.
Under these  circumstances,  we are subject to  reinvestment  risk to the extent
that we are not able to reinvest such  prepayments at rates which are comparable
to the rates on the prepaid loans or securities.

Insufficient Loan Demand

   
         The  economic  conditions  in our  market  area and the  stagnation  in
population in the greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area in approximately the last
ten years has  resulted in,  among other  things,  a lack of demand for mortgage
loans which meet our underwriting criteria, in comparison to our relatively high
deposit  origination.  This has led to lower levels of loan  originations.  As a
result,  we have increased our investment in investment  securities and cash and
cash  equivalents to use excess funding that would  otherwise have been utilized
for investment in loans in our market area.  The  investment  portfolio and cash
and equivalents  generally bear yields which are below the yields on loans.  The
insufficient  mortgage  loan  demand has  adversely  affected  our  income. ^See
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations - Net Interest Income".

Loss From Insufficient Yield To Cover Overhead

         The  costs   associated  with  the  opening  of  our  Saxonburg  office
contributed to our net loss for the year ended December 31, 1996 and nine months
ended September 30, 1997. Occupancy and equipment expense have more than doubled
and will continue to adversely affect net income, which may result in net losses
for future  periods,  unless and until,  we are able to expand our  lending  and
investment  activities.  However, we believe that the investment of the proceeds
of the conversion  and the ability to leverage  assets at our new capital levels
following the conversion are expected to improve our ability to increase our net
income and cover our increased  overhead,  though our noninterest  expense might
increase  after we become a public  company.  See  "Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  - Recent  Business
Strategy; -- Noninterest Expense."

Dependence on Local Economy

   
         We operate as a community-oriented financial institution,  with a focus
on servicing  customers in our primary market area. At September 30, 1997,  most
of our loan portfolio consisted of loans made to borrowers and collateralized by
properties   located  in  our  primary   market  area.   As  a  result  of  this
concentration,  a downturn  in the  economy  of our  primary  market  area could
increase the risk of loss associated with our loan  portfolio^,  however,  we do
not believe there is an undue risk as a result of this credit concentration. See
"Business of Stanton Federal Savings Bank - Market Area."
    

Lack of Active Market for Common Stock

         Due to the small size of the  offering,  it is highly  unlikely that an
active trading  market will develop and be maintained.  If an active market does
not develop, you may not be able to sell your shares promptly or perhaps at all,
or sell  your  shares  at a price  equal to or above  the price you paid for the
shares.  It is anticipated that SFSB Common Stock will be traded on OTC Bulletin
Board. The common stock may not be appropriate as a short-term  investment.  See
"Market for the Common Stock."

Anti-Takeover  Provisions and Statutory Provisions That Could Discourage Hostile
Acquisitions of Control

         Provisions in SFSB's articles of incorporation and bylaws,  the general
corporation  law  of the  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania,  and  certain  federal
regulations may make it difficult and expensive to pursue a tender offer, change
in control or takeover  attempt which is opposed by our management and the board
of directors. As a result,  stockholders who might desire to participate in such
a transaction  may not have an opportunity to do so. Such  provisions  will also
render the removal of the current  board of directors or management of SFSB more
difficult.  In addition,  these  provisions  may reduce the trading price of our
stock.  These  provisions  include:  restrictions  on the  acquisition of SFSB's
equity  securities and limitations on voting rights;  the  classification of the
terms of the members of the board of directors;  certain provisions  relating to
the meeting of stockholders;  denial of cumulative voting by stockholders in the
election of directors;  the issuance of preferred stock and additional shares of
common stock without shareholder approval; and supermajority  provisions for the
approval of certain business combinations.
See "Restrictions on Acquisitions of SFSB Holding Company".

Possible Voting Control by Directors and Officers

         The proposed  purchases of the common stock by our directors,  officers
and employee stock ownership  plan, as well as the potential  acquisition of the
common stock through the stock option plan and restricted stock plan, could make
it difficult to obtain  majority  support for  stockholder  proposals  which are
opposed by our management and board of directors. Based upon the midpoint of the
estimated  valuation  range,  our  officers  and  directors  intend to  purchase
approximately  10.44%  of  the  common  shares  offered  in the  conversion.  In
addition,  the voting of those shares  could block the approval of  transactions
(i.e.,  business combinations and amendment to our articles of incorporation and
bylaws)  requiring  the  approval  of 80% of the  stockholders  under the SFSB's
articles of incorporation.  See "Proposed  Purchases by Directors and Officers,"
"Management  of  Stanton  Federal  Savings  Bank  --  Executive   Compensation,"
"Description  of Capital  Stock,"  and  "Restrictions  on  Acquisitions  of SFSB
Holding Company."


                                        2

<PAGE>



Possible Dilutive Effect of Restricted Stock Plan and Stock Options

         If the conversion is completed and shareholders  approve the restricted
stock plan ("RSP") and stock  option  plan,  we will issue stock to our officers
and directors  through these plans.  If the shares for the RSP and stock options
are issued from our authorized but unissued stock,  your voting  interests could
be cumulatively  diluted by up to  approximately  12.3% and the trading price of
our stock may be reduced.  See "Pro Forma Data,"  "Management of Stanton Federal
Savings Bank -- Proposed Future Stock Benefit  Plans," and "-- Restricted  Stock
Plan."

Financial Institution Regulation and Future of the Thrift Industry

         We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and examination by
the OTS and FDIC. Bills have been introduced in Congress that could  consolidate
the OTS with the Office of the  Comptroller of the Currency  ("OCC") and require
the Bank to adopt a  commercial  charter.  If we become a commercial  bank,  our
investment authority and the ability of SFSB to engage in diversified activities
may be limited,  which could adversely affect our value and  profitability.  See
"Regulation."

Restrictions on Repurchase of Shares

         Generally, during the first year following the conversion, SFSB may not
repurchase its shares.  During each of the second and third years  following the
conversion, SFSB may repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares. During those
periods, if we decide that additional repurchases would be an appropriate use of
funds, we would not be able to do so, without  obtaining OTS approval.  There is
no  assurance  that  OTS  approval  would  be  given.  See  "The  Conversion  --
Restrictions on Repurchase of Stock."

Possible Year 2000 Computer Program Problems

         A great  deal of  information  has been  disseminated  about the global
computer crash that may occur in the year 2000. Many computer  programs that can
only distinguish the final two digits of the year entered (a common  programming
practice in earlier years) are expected to read entries for the year 2000 as the
year 1900 and compute payment,  interest or delinquency  based on the wrong date
or are expected to be unable to compute payment, interest or delinquency.  Rapid
and accurate data processing is essential to our operations.  Data processing is
also essential to most other financial institutions and many other companies.

         All of our  material  data  processing  that could be  affected by this
problem is provided  by a third party  service  bureau.  Our service  bureau has
advised us that it expects to resolve  this  potential  problem  before the year
2000.  However,  if this potential problem is not resolved before the year 2000,
we would likely  experience  significant  data  processing  delays,  mistakes or
failures.  These delays,  mistakes or failures could have a significant  adverse
impact on our financial condition and our results of operations.

                  PROPOSED PURCHASES BY DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

         The  following  table sets forth the  approximate  purchases  of common
stock by each  director  and  executive  officer  and  their  associates  in the
conversion. Shares purchased by officers and directors in the conversion may not
be sold for at least one year.  The  table  assumes  that  550,000  shares  (the
midpoint of the estimated  valuation  range,  "EVR") of the common stock will be
sold at $10.00 per share and that sufficient shares will be available to satisfy
subscriptions  in all  categories.  However,  officers and  directors  and their
associates  may not buy more than 35% of the total  amount of shares sold in the
conversion.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

         SFSB Holding Company will use 50% of the net proceeds from the offering
to  purchase  all of the  capital  stock we will  issue in  connection  with the
Conversion. A portion of the net proceeds to be retained by SFSB Holding Company
will be loaned to our  employee  stock  plan to fund its  purchase  of 8% of the
shares sold in the  Conversion.  On a short-term  basis,  the balance of the net
proceeds  retained  by  SFSB  Holding  Company  initially  will be  invested  in
short-term  investments.  Although there are no current plans,  the net proceeds
subsequently  may be used to  fund  acquisitions  of  other  financial  services
institutions or to diversify into non-banking  activities.  The net proceeds may
also serve as a source of funds for the payment of dividends to  stockholders or
for the repurchase of the shares. A portion of the net proceeds may also be used
to fund the purchase of 4% of the shares for a  restricted  stock plan (the RSP)
which is  anticipated  to be adopted  following the  Conversion.  See "Pro Forma
Data."

         The funds we receive from the sale of our capital stock to SFSB will be
added to our general funds and be used for general corporate purposes including:
(i) investment in mortgages and other loans, (ii) investment in U.S.  Government
and federal agency securities, (iii) investment in mortgage-backed securities or
(iv) funding loan  commitments.  However,  initially we intend to invest the net
proceeds in short-term  investments until we can deploy the proceeds into higher
yielding  assets.  The funds added to our capital  will further  strengthen  our
capital position.

         The net proceeds may vary because the total  expenses of the conversion
may be more or less than those estimated. We expect our estimated expenses to be
$320,000.  Our estimated  net proceeds will range from  $4,355,000 to $6,005,000
(or up to $6,953,750 in the event the maximum of the estimated  valuation  range
is increased to $7,273,750). See "Pro Forma Data." The net proceeds will

                                        4

<PAGE>



also vary if expenses  are  different or if the number of shares to be issued in
the conversion is adjusted to reflect a change in our estimated pro forma market
value.  Payments  for shares made  through  withdrawals  from  existing  deposit
accounts  with us will not result in the receipt of new funds for  investment by
us but will result in a reduction of our  liabilities  and  interest  expense as
funds are transferred from interest-bearing certificates or accounts.

                                    DIVIDENDS

         Upon  conversion,  SFSB's board of directors will have the authority to
declare   dividends  on  the  shares,   subject  to  statutory  and   regulatory
requirements.  SFSB does not expect to establish a cash  dividend  policy during
the first year after the  conversion.  Declarations of dividends by the board of
directors will depend upon a number of factors, including: (i) the amount of the
net proceeds retained by SFSB in the conversion,  (ii) investment  opportunities
available, (iii) capital requirements,  (iv) regulatory limitations, (v) results
of  operations  and  financial  condition,  (vi) tax  considerations,  and (vii)
general economic conditions.  Upon review of such considerations,  the board may
authorize  future  dividends  if  it  deems  such  payment  appropriate  and  in
compliance  with  applicable  law  and  regulation.  For a  period  of one  year
following the completion of the  conversion,  we will not pay any dividends that
would be treated for tax purposes as a return of capital nor take any actions to
pursue or propose such  dividends.  In addition,  there can be no assurance that
regular or special  dividends  will be paid,  or, if paid,  will  continue to be
paid. See  "Historical  and Pro Forma Capital  Compliance,"  "The Conversion - -
Effects of Conversion  to Stock Form on Savers and Borrowers of Stanton  Federal
Savings  Bank --  Liquidation  Account"  and  "Regulation  -- Dividend and Other
Capital Distribution Limitations."

         SFSB is not subject to OTS  regulatory  restrictions  on the payment of
dividends  to its  stockholders  although the source of such  dividends  will be
dependent  in part upon the  receipt  of  dividends  from us.  SFSB is  subject,
however,  to the  requirements  of  Pennsylvania  law, which generally limit the
payment of dividends to amounts that will not affect the ability of SFSB,  after
the dividend has been  distributed,  to pay its debts in the ordinary  course of
business.

         In addition to the  foregoing,  the portion of our  earnings  which has
been  appropriated  for bad debt  reserves and  deducted for federal  income tax
purposes  cannot be used by us to pay cash dividends to SFSB without the payment
of federal  income taxes by us at the then current income tax rate on the amount
deemed  distributed,  which would include the amount of any federal income taxes
attributable to the distribution. See "Taxation -- Federal Taxation" and Note 12
to our financial  statements.  SFSB does not contemplate any  distribution by us
that would result in a recapture  of our bad debt  reserve or  otherwise  create
federal tax liabilities.

                           MARKET FOR THE COMMON STOCK

         As a newly organized company,  SFSB has never issued capital stock, and
consequently there is no established market for the common stock.  Following the
completion  of the  offering,  it is  anticipated  that the common stock will be
traded on the over-the-counter  market with quotations available through the OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board. Ryan, Beck is expected to make a market in the common
stock.  Making a market may include the  solicitation  of  potential  buyers and
sellers in order to match buy and sell orders.  However,  Ryan, Beck will not be
subject to any  obligation  with  respect to such  efforts.  If the common stock
cannot be quoted and traded on the OTC  Bulletin  Board it is expected  that the
transactions  in the common  stock will be  reported  in the pink  sheets of the
National Quotation Bureau, Inc.

         The development of an active trading market depends on the existence of
willing buyers and sellers. Due to the small size of the offering,  it is highly
unlikely that an active trading market will develop and be maintained. You could
have difficulty disposing of your shares and you should not view the shares as a
short-term investment.  You may not be able to sell your shares at a price equal
to or above the price you paid for the shares.

         The following table presents,  as of September 30, 1997, our historical
capitalization  and the consolidated  capitalization of SFSB after giving effect
to the conversion and the other assumptions set forth below and under "Pro Forma

(1)  Excludes  accrued  interest  payable on deposits.  Withdrawals from savings
     accounts  for the  purchase  of  stock  have not  been  reflected  in these
     adjustments.  Any withdrawals will reduce pro forma  capitalization  by the
     amount of such withdrawals.

(3)  Assumes  that 8% and 4% of the  shares  issued  in the  conversion  will be
     purchased by the ESOP and RSP, respectively. No shares will be purchased by
     the RSP in the conversion.  It is assumed on a pro forma basis that the RSP
     will be adopted by the board of  directors,  approved  by  stockholders  of
     SFSB,  and  reviewed by the OTS. It is assumed  that the RSP will  purchase
     common stock in the open market within one year of the  conversion in order
     to give an  indication  of its  effect  on  capitalization.  The pro  forma
     presentation  does not show the impact of: (a) results of operations  after
     the conversion,  (b) changing market prices of shares of common stock after
     the conversion, or (c) a smaller than 4% or 8% purchase by the RSP or ESOP,
     respectively.  Assumes  that the funds used to acquire the ESOP shares will
     be borrowed from SFSB for a ten year term at the prime rate as published in
     The Wall  Street  Journal.  For an  estimate  of the  impact of the ESOP on
     earnings,  see "Pro Forma Data." The Bank intends to make  contributions to
     the ESOP  sufficient to service and ultimately  retire its debt. The amount
     to be  acquired  by  the  ESOP  and  RSP is  reflected  as a  reduction  of
     stockholders'  equity.  The issuance of authorized but unissued  shares for
     the RSP in an (footnotes continued on next page)

     amount equal to 4% of the outstanding  shares of common stock will have the
     effect of diluting existing  stockholders'  voting interests by 3.9%. There
     can be no assurance that stockholder  approval of the RSP will be obtained.
     See  "Management of Stanton  Federal  Savings Bank -- Proposed Future Stock
     Benefit Plans -- Restricted Stock Plan."

(4)  The  equity  of  the  Bank  will  be  substantially  restricted  after  the
     conversion.  See  "Dividends,"  "Regulation  -- Dividends and Other Capital
     Distribution  Limitations,"  "The  Conversion  -- Effects of  Conversion to
     Stock Form on Depositors and Borrowers of Stanton  Federal  Savings Bank --
     Liquidation Account" and Note 16 to the Financial Statements.

                                 PRO FORMA DATA

         The actual net  proceeds  from the sale of the common  stock  cannot be
determined  until  the  conversion  is  completed.  However,  net  proceeds  are
currently  estimated to be between  $4,355,000 million and $6,005,000 million at
the minimum and  maximum,  as  adjusted,  of the EVR,  based upon the  following
assumptions:  (i) 8% of the shares  will be sold to the ESOP and  57,500  shares
will be sold to officers,  directors,  and members of their immediate  families;
(ii) Ryan, Beck will have received  advisory and marketing fees (including legal
fees and other reimbursable expenses) of $120,000;  (iii) no shares will be sold
in a Public  Offering;  (iv) other conversion  expenses,  excluding the fees and
other expenses paid to Ryan,  Beck,  will be $200,000;  and (v) 4% of the shares
will be sold to the RSP.  Because  management  of Stanton  Federal  Savings Bank
presently  intends  to  adopt  the RSP  within  the  first  year  following  the
conversion,  a purchase by the RSP in the  conversion has been included with the
pro forma data to give an  indication of the effect of a 4% purchase by the RSP,
at a $10.00 per share purchase price in the market, even though the RSP does not
currently exist and is prohibited by OTS regulation  from  purchasing  shares in
the  conversion.  The pro forma  presentation  does not show the  effect of: (a)
results of operations  after the  conversion,  (b) changing market prices of the
shares  after the  conversion,  (c) less than a 4%  purchase  by the RSP, or (d)
dilutive  effects of newly issued shares under the restricted stock plan and the
stock option plan (see footnotes 2 and 3).

         The  following  table sets  forth,  our  historical  net  earnings  and
stockholders'  equity prior to the conversion and the pro forma consolidated net
earnings and  stockholders'  equity of SFSB following the conversion.  Unaudited
pro  forma  consolidated  net  earnings  and  stockholders'   equity  have  been
calculated  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 and fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996 as if the common stock to be issued in the conversion had been
sold at January 1, 1997 and January 1, 1996 and the  estimated  net proceeds had
been invested at 5.52%, respectively for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996
and the nine months ended September 30, 1997, which was  approximately  equal to
the one-year U.S.  Treasury  bill rate at September 30, 1997.  The one-year U.S.
Treasury bill rate,  rather than an  arithmetic  average of the average yield on
interest-earning  assets and  average  rate paid on  deposits,  has been used to
estimate  income on net proceeds  because it is believed  that the one-year U.S.
Treasury  bill  rate is a more  accurate  estimate  of the  rate  that  would be
obtained on an investment of net proceeds from the offering.  In calculating pro
forma income, a combined  effective state and federal income tax rate of 37% has
been  assumed for the  respective  periods,  resulting  in an after tax yield of
3.48% for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1997 and the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996.  Withdrawals from deposit accounts for the purchase of shares
are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments.  The computations are based upon
the assumptions  that 467,500 shares (minimum of EVR),  550,000 shares (midpoint
of  EVR),  632,500  shares  (maximum  of EVR) or  727,375  shares  (maximum,  as
adjusted,  of the EVR) are sold at a price of $10.00  per  share.  As  discussed
under "Use of  Proceeds," a portion of the net  proceeds  that SFSB will receive
will be  loaned  to the ESOP to fund its  anticipated  purchase  of 8% of shares
issued in the  conversion.  It is assumed  that the yield on the net proceeds of
the  conversion  retained  by SFSB  will be the  same  as the  yield  on the net
proceeds of the conversion transferred to us. Historical and pro forma per share
amounts have been calculated by dividing historical and pro forma amounts by the
indicated  number of shares.  Per share  amounts  have been  computed  as if the
shares had been  outstanding  at the  beginning  of the  periods or at the dates
shown,  but  without  any  adjustment  of per  share  historical  or  pro  forma
stockholders' equity to reflect the earnings on the estimated net proceeds.

- --------------------
   
(1)  Assumes 8% of the shares sold in the  conversion are purchased by the ESOP,
     and that the funds used to purchase such shares are borrowed from SFSB. The
     approximate  amount expected to be borrowed by the ESOP is not reflected as
     a liability  but is reflected as a reduction of capital.  We intend to make
     annual  contributions  to the ESOP  over a ten year  period in an amount at
     least equal to the principal and interest requirement of the debt. Interest
     income  earned by us on the ESOP debt offsets the interest  paid by Stanton
     Federal  Savings  Bank on the ESOP  loan.  Therefore,  only  the  principal
     payments on the ESOP debt are recorded as a tax-effected  expense.  The pro
     forma net income assumes: (i) that 3,740, 4,400, 5,060, and 5,819 shares at
     the minimum,  midpoint,  maximum and maximum,  as adjusted of the EVR, were
     committed  to be released  during the year ended  December 31, 1996 and the
     nine months ended September 30, 1997 at an average fair value of $10.00 per
     share in accordance with Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6 of the American
     Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA"); (ii) the effective tax
     rate was 37% for such periods  based upon a combined  federal and state tax
     rate;  and  (iii)  only the  ESOP  shares  committed  to be  released  were
     considered  outstanding for purposes of the per share net earnings. The pro
     forma  stockholders'  equity per share calculation  assumes all ESOP shares
     were  outstanding,  regardless  of  whether  such  shares  would  have been
     released.  Because SFSB will be  providing  the ESOP loan,  only  principal
     payments  on the ESOP  loan are  reflected  as  employee  compensation  and
     benefits  expense.  As a result,  to the  extent  the  value of the  shares
     appreciates  over  time,  compensation  expense  related  to the ESOP  will
     increase.  For  purposes of the  preceding  tables,  it was assumed  that a
     ratable  portion  of the  ESOP  shares  purchased  in the  conversion  were
     committed  to be released  during the period ended  September  30, 1997 and
     December 31, 1996. See Note 5 below.  If it is assumed that all of the ESOP
     shares were  included  in the  calculation  of  earnings  per share for the
     period  ended at September  30, 1997 and  December  31, 1996,  earnings per
     share would have been $(.26),  $(.19),  $(.15) and $(.11),  and $.08, $.10,
     $.12,  and $.13 for the period  ended  September  30, 1997 and December 31,
     1996, respectively,  based on the sale of shares at the minimum,  midpoint,
     maximum and the  maximum,  as  adjusted,  of the EVR.  See  "Management  of
     Stanton  Federal Savings Bank -- Other Benefits -- Employee Stock Ownership
     Plan."

(2)  Assumes issuance to the RSP of 18,700, 22,000, 25,300, and 29,095 shares at
     the minimum,  midpoint,  maximum,  and maximum, as adjusted of the EVR. The
     assumption in the pro forma  calculation  is that (i) shares were purchased
     by SFSB  following the  conversion,  (ii) the purchase price for the shares
     purchased  by the RSP was  equal to the  purchase  price  of $10 per  share
     ^(iii) 20% of the amount  contributed was an amortized  expense during such
     period, and (iv) the effective tax rate was 37% for such periods based upon
     a  combined  federal  and state  tax rate.  Such  amount  does not  reflect
     possible  increases or decreases in the value of such stock relative to the
     Purchase Price. As we accrue compensation  expense to reflect the five year
     vesting  period of such  shares  pursuant  to the RSP,  the charge  against
     capital will be reduced  accordingly.  Implementation of the RSP within one
     year of conversion would require  regulatory and stockholder  approval at a
     meeting of our stockholders to be held no earlier than six months after the
     conversion.  If the  shares to be  purchased  by the RSP are  assumed  at ^
     January 1, 1996 and ^ January 1, 1995, to be newly issued shares  purchased
     from  SFSB by the RSP at the  Purchase  Price,  at the  minimum,  midpoint,
     maximum and  maximum,  as  adjusted,  of the EVR,  pro forma  stockholders'
     equity per share would have been  $14.96,  $13.99,  $13.26,  and $12.63 and
     $15.15,  $14.14,  $13.39, and $12.76 at September 30, 1997 and December 31,
     1996,  respectively,  and pro  forma  earnings  per share  would  have been
     $(.26),  $(.20), $(.15), and $(.11) and $.07, $.12, $.12, and $.13, for the
     nine months ended September 30, 1997, and the year ended December 31, 1996,
     respectively.   As  a  result  of  the  RSP  from  newly   issued   shares,
     stockholders'  voting  interests  could be diluted  by up to  approximately
     3.9%. The pro forma data assumes the required  regulatory  and  stockholder
     approvals.  See  "Management  of Stanton  Federal  Savings Bank -- Proposed
     Future Stock Benefit Plans -- Restricted Stock Plan."
    

(3)  Assumes that following the consummation of the conversion,  SFSB will adopt
     the Option Plan,  which if implemented  within one year of conversion would
     be  subject to  regulatory  review and board of  director  and  stockholder
     approval,  and that  such plan  would be  considered  and  voted  upon at a
     meeting of SFSB  stockholders  to be held no earlier  than six months after
     the  conversion.  Under the Option Plan,  employees and directors  could be
     granted  options to purchase an aggregate  amount of shares equal to 10% of
     the shares  issued in the  conversion  at an  exercise  price  equal to the
     market price of the shares on the date of

                                       11

     grant.  In the event the shares  issued  under the  Option  Plan were newly
     issued rather than  purchased in the open market,  the voting  interests of
     existing  stockholders could be diluted by up to approximately 9.1%. At the
     minimum, midpoint, maximum and the maximum, as adjusted, of the EVR, if all
     shares  under the Option  Plan were newly  issued at the  beginning  of the
     respective  periods and the exercise price for the option shares were equal
     to the Purchase Price,  the number of outstanding  shares would increase to
     514,250,   605,000,   695,750,   and   800,113   respectively,   pro  forma
     stockholders' equity per share would have been $14.14,  $13.22, $12.54, and
     $11.95,  and $14.32,  $13.37,  $12.67, and $12.06 at September 30, 1997 and
     December 31,  1996,  respectively,  and pro forma  earnings per share would
     have been $(.23),  $(.18),  $(.13),  and $(.10) and $.07,  $.09,  $.11, and
     $.12.

(4)  Consolidated  stockholders'  equity  represents  the excess of the carrying
     value of the assets of the over its liabilities. The calculations are based
     upon the number of shares issued in the  conversion,  without giving effect
     to SOP 93-6.  The  amounts  shown do not  reflect  the  federal  income tax
     consequences  of the  potential  restoration  to income of the tax bad debt
     reserves for income tax  purposes,  which would be required in the event of
     liquidation.  The amounts shown also do not reflect the amounts required to
     be distributed in the event of liquidation to eligible  depositors from the
     liquidation  account which will be established upon the consummation of the
     conversion.  Pro forma stockholders'  equity information is not intended to
     represent  the fair market  value of the shares,  the current  value of our
     assets or liabilities  or the amounts,  if any, that would be available for

                                 THE CONVERSION

         Our board of  directors  and the OTS have  approved the Plan subject to
the Plan's approval by our members,  and subject to the  satisfaction of certain
other conditions imposed by the OTS in its approval. OTS approval, however, does
not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the Plan by the OTS.

General

         On  September  30,  1997,  our  board of  directors  adopted  a Plan of
Conversion,  pursuant to which we will convert from a federally chartered mutual
savings  bank to a federally  chartered  stock  savings bank and become a wholly
owned  subsidiary of SFSB. The conversion will include  adoption of the proposed
Federal  Stock  charter and Bylaws which will  authorize the issuance of capital
stock by us.  Under the Plan,  our  capital  stock is being sold to SFSB and the
common stock of SFSB is being offered to our eligible depositors and members and
then to the public. The conversion will be accounted for at historical cost in a
manner similar to a pooling of interests.

         The OTS has approved  SFSB's  application  to become a savings and loan
holding  company  and to  acquire  all of our  common  stock to be issued in the
conversion.  Pursuant to such OTS approval, SFSB will provide additional capital
to us so that  tangible  capital  equals 10% of total  assets to comply with OTS
rules requiring such capital prior to the implementation of the RSP. See "Use of
Proceeds."

   
         The shares are first  being  offered in a ^  subscription  offering  to
holders of  subscription  rights.  To the extent  shares of common  stock remain
available  after the ^  subscription  offering,  shares  of common  stock may be
offered in a Community  Offering or Public Offering.  The Community  Offering or
Public Offering,  if any, may commence anytime subsequent to the commencement of
the ^ subscription  offering.  Shares not  subscribed  for in the  Subscription,
Community  and Public  Offerings may be offered for sale by SFSB in a Syndicated
Public Offering. We have the right, in our sole discretion, to accept or reject,
in whole or in part, any orders to purchase  shares of the common stock received
in the Community,  Public and Syndicated  Public Offering.  See "-- Community or
Public Offering."

         Shares of common stock in an amount equal to our pro forma market value
as a stock  savings  institution  must be sold in order  for the  conversion  to
become effective.  The Community Offering,  Public Offering or Syndicated Public
Offering  must  be  completed  within  45  days  after  the  last  day  of the ^
subscription  offering  period  unless  such  period is  extended by us with the
approval of the OTS. The Plan  provides  that the  conversion  must be completed
within 24 months after the date of the approval of the Plan by our members.

         In the event that we are unable to  complete  the sale of common  stock
and effect  the  conversion  within 45 days after the end of the ^  subscription
offering, we may request an extension of the period by the OTS. No assurance can
be given that the extension  would be granted if requested.  Due to the volatile
nature of market  conditions,  no  assurances  can be given  that our  estimated
market valuation would not  substantially  change during any such extension.  If
the valuation of the shares must be amended, no assurance can be given that such
amended valuation would be approved by the OTS.  Therefore,  it is possible that
if the conversion cannot be completed within the requisite period, we may not be
permitted to complete the conversion. A substantial delay caused by an extension
of the period may also significantly increase the expense of the conversion.  No
sales of the shares may be completed in the offering unless the Plan is approved
by our members and by the OTS.
    


                                       14

<PAGE>



         The  completion  of the  offering is subject to market  conditions  and
other factors beyond our control.  No assurance can be given as to the length of
time  following  approval of the Plan at the meeting of our members that will be
required to complete  the sale of shares  being  offered in the  conversion.  If
delays are experienced, significant changes may occur in our estimated pro forma
market value upon conversion together with corresponding changes in the offering
price and the net proceeds to be realized by us from the sale of the shares.  In
the event the conversion is terminated,  we will charge all conversion  expenses
against  current  income and any funds  collected by us in the offering  will be
promptly returned, with interest, to each potential investor.

Effects of  Conversion  to Stock Form on  Depositors  and  Borrowers  of Stanton
Federal Savings Bank

         Voting Rights.  Currently in our mutual form, our depositor and certain
borrower  members have voting rights and may vote for the election of directors.
Following the conversion, all voting rights will be held solely by stockholders.
A stockholder will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock owned.

         Savings  Accounts and Loans.  The  balances,  terms and FDIC  insurance
coverage  of  savings   accounts  will  not  be  affected  by  the   conversion.
Furthermore,  the amounts and terms of loans and  obligations  of the  borrowers
under their individual contractual  arrangements with us will not be affected by
the conversion.

         Tax Effects.  We have  received an opinion  from our counsel,  Malizia,
Spidi,  Sloane & Fisch,  P.C. on the federal tax consequences of the conversion.
The opinion has been filed as an exhibit to the registration  statement of which
this Prospectus is a part and covers those federal tax matters that are material
to the transaction. The opinion provides, in part, that: (i) the conversion will
qualify as a reorganization  under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code, and no gain
or loss will be recognized by us by reason of the proposed  conversion;  (ii) no
gain or loss will be  recognized  by us upon the  receipt of money from SFSB for
our stock,  and no gain or loss will be  recognized  by SFSB upon the receipt of
money for the shares; (iii) our assets will have the same basis before and after
the  conversion;  (iv) the holding  period of our assets will include the period
during which the assets were held by us in our mutual form;  (v) no gain or loss
will be  recognized  by the  Eligible  Account  Holders,  Supplemental  Eligible
Account  Holders,  and Other  Members upon the issuance to them of  withdrawable
savings  accounts  in us in the stock  form in the same  dollar  amount as their
savings  accounts in us in the mutual  form plus an interest in the  liquidation
account of us in the stock form in exchange for their savings  accounts in us in
the  mutual  form;  (vi)  provided  that the  amount  to be paid for the  shares
pursuant to the  subscription  rights is equal to the fair market  value of such
shares,  no  gain or  loss  will be  recognized  by  Eligible  Account  Holders,
Supplemental Eligible Account Holders, and Other Members under the Plan upon the
distribution to them of nontransferable  subscription rights; (vii) the basis of
each account  holder's savings accounts after the conversion will be the same as
the basis of his savings accounts prior to the conversion, decreased by the fair
market value of the  nontransferable  subscription rights received and increased
by the amount,  if any, of gain recognized on the exchange;  (viii) the basis of
each account holder's interest in the liquidation account will be zero; (ix) the
holding period of the common stock acquired through the exercise of subscription
rights shall begin on the date on which the  subscription  rights are exercised;
(x) we will succeed to and take into account the earnings and profits or deficit
in earnings  and profits of us as of the date of  conversion;  (xi)  immediately
after  conversion,  we will succeed to the bad debt reserve accounts  previously
held by us, and the bad debt reserves will have the same  character in our hands
after  conversion as if no distribution or transfer had occurred;  and (xii) the
creation of the liquidation account will have no effect on our taxable income.


                                       15

<PAGE>



   
         The opinion from Malizia,  Spidi, Sloane & Fisch, P.C. is based in part
on the  assumption  that the exercise price of the  subscription  rights will be
approximately  equal to the fair market value of those shares at the time of the
completion  of the proposed  conversion.  We have  received an opinion of FinPro
which, based on certain  assumptions,  concludes that the subscription rights to
be received by Eligible  Account  Holders and other eligible  subscribers do not
have  any  economic  value  at the  time  of  distribution  or at the  time  the
subscription  rights are exercised.  Such opinion is based on the fact that such
rights are:  (i)  acquired by the  recipients  without  payment  therefor,  (ii)
non-transferable,  (iii) of short  duration,  and (iv) afford the recipients the
right only to purchase  shares at a price equal to their  estimated  fair market
value,  which will be the same price at which  shares for which no  subscription
right is received in the ^  subscription  offering will be offered in the Public
Offering.  If the  subscription  rights granted to Eligible  Account  Holders or
other eligible subscribers are deemed to have an ascertainable value, receipt of
such rights would be taxable  only to those  Eligible  Account  Holders or other
eligible  subscribers who exercise the subscription rights in an amount equal to
such value (either as a capital gain or ordinary income), and we could recognize
gain on such distribution.
    

         We are also subject to  Pennsylvania  income taxes and have received an
opinion from Malizia,  Spidi,  Sloane & Fisch,  P.C. that the conversion will be
treated  for  Pennsylvania  state  tax  purposes  similar  to  the  conversion's
treatment for federal tax purposes.  The opinion has been filed as an exhibit to
the  registration  statement to which this Prospectus is a part and covers those
state tax matters that are material to the transaction.

         Unlike a private letter ruling, the opinions of Malizia,  Spidi, Sloane
& Fisch,  P.C.  and FinPro  have no binding  effect or official  status,  and no
assurance  can be given that the  conclusions  reached in any of those  opinions
would be sustained by a court if  contested by the IRS or the  Pennsylvania  tax
authorities.  Eligible Account Holders,  Supplemental  Eligible Account Holders,
and Other  Members are  encouraged  to consult with their own tax advisers as to
the tax consequences in the event the
subscription rights are deemed to have an ascertainable value.

         Liquidation  Account. In the unlikely event of our complete liquidation
in our present mutual form, each depositor is entitled to equal  distribution of
any of our  assets,  pro rata to the  value  of his  accounts,  remaining  after
payment of claims of all creditors  (including  the claims of all  depositors to
the withdrawal value of their accounts). Each depositor's pro rata share of such
remaining  assets  would be in the same  proportion  as the value of his deposit
accounts  was to the total  value of all  deposit  accounts in us at the time of
liquidation.

         Upon a complete liquidation after the conversion,  each depositor would
have a claim, as a creditor,  of the same general  priority as the claims of all
other  general  creditors  of ours.  Therefore,  except as  described  below,  a
depositor's  claim  would be solely in the amount of the  balance in his deposit
account plus  accrued  interest.  A depositor  would not have an interest in the
residual value of our assets above that amount, if any.

         The Plan  provides for the  establishment,  upon the  completion of the
conversion,  of a special  "liquidation  account"  for the  benefit of  Eligible
Account Holders and Supplemental Eligible Account Holders. Each Eligible Account
Holder and Supplemental Eligible Account Holder, if he continues to maintain his
deposit account with us, would be entitled on a complete liquidation of us after
conversion,  to an interest in the  liquidation  account prior to any payment to
stockholders.  Each Eligible  Account  Holder would have an initial  interest in
such  liquidation  account for each deposit account held in us on the qualifying
date, December 31, 1995. Each Supplemental  Eligible Account Holder would have a
similar interest as of the qualifying date,  September 30, 1997. The interest as
to each deposit account would be in the same proportion of the total liquidation
account as the balance of the deposit account on the qualifying dates

                                       16

<PAGE>



was to the  aggregate  balance in all the deposit  accounts of Eligible  Account
Holders and  Supplemental  Eligible  Account Holders on such  qualifying  dates.
However, if the amount in the deposit account on any annual closing date of ours
(December  31) is less  than  the  amount  in  such  account  on the  respective
qualifying dates, then the interest in this special liquidation account would be
reduced from time to time by an amount proportionate to any such reduction,  and
the  interest  would cease to exist if such deposit  account  were  closed.  The
interest in the special  liquidation account will never be increased despite any
increase in the related deposit account after the respective qualifying dates.

         No merger,  consolidation,  purchase of bulk assets with assumptions of
savings accounts and other  liabilities,  or similar  transactions  with another
insured  institution  in which we, in our converted  form, are not the surviving
institution,  shall be considered a complete liquidation.  In such transactions,
the liquidation account shall be assumed by the surviving institution.

Subscription Rights and the Subscription Offering

   
         Restrictions on Transfer of Subscription Rights and Shares. Persons are
prohibited from  transferring or entering into any agreement or understanding to
transfer  the  legal  or  beneficial  ownership  of their  subscription  rights.
Subscription rights may be exercised only by the person to whom they are granted
and only for his account. Each person subscribing for shares will be required to
certify  that he is  purchasing  shares  solely for his own  account and has not
entered  into an agreement or  understanding  regarding  the sale or transfer of
those shares.  The regulations  also prohibit any person from offering or making
an announcement of an offer or intent to make an offer to purchase  subscription
rights or shares of common stock prior to the completion of the  conversion.  We
intend to pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies in the event we become
aware of the transfer of subscription  rights and we will not honor orders known
by us to involve the transfer of such rights.  In addition,  persons who violate
the purchase  limitations  may be subject to sanctions and penalties  imposed by
the OTS.

         Subscription  Priorities.   Non-transferable   subscription  rights  to
purchase  shares of the common  stock have been  granted to persons and entities
entitled to purchase  shares in the ^  subscription  offering under the Plan. If
the Community  Offering,  Public  Offering or  Syndicated  Public  Offering,  as
described  below,  extends  beyond 45 days  following  the  completion  of the ^
subscription offering, subscribers will be resolicited.  Subscription priorities
have been  established for the allocation of stock to the extent that shares are
available after  satisfaction of all  subscriptions  of all persons having prior
rights and  subject  to the  purchase  limitations  set forth in the Plan and as
described  below under "--  Limitations  on Purchases of Shares." The  following
priorities have been established:
    

Category 1: Eligible Account Holders (First Priority).  Eligible Account Holders
are  persons who had a deposit  account of at least $50 with us on December  31,
1995.  Each Eligible  Account Holder (or persons  through a single account) will
receive  non-transferable  subscription  rights on a priority  basis to purchase
that  number of shares of common  stock  which is equal to the  greater of 7,500
shares  ($75,000),  or 15 times  the  product  (rounded  down to the next  whole
number)  obtained by  multiplying  the total  number of shares to be issued by a
fraction of which the numerator is the amount of the  qualifying  deposit of the
Eligible  Account  Holder and the  denominator is the total amount of qualifying
deposits of all Eligible Account Holders. If the exercise of subscription rights
in this category results in an oversubscription, shares shall be allocated among
subscribing  Eligible  Account Holders so as to permit each such account holder,
to the extent possible, to purchase the lesser of 100 shares or the total amount
of his  subscription.  Any shares not so allocated  shall be allocated among the
subscribing  Eligible  Account  Holders on an  equitable  basis,  related to the
amounts  of their  respective  qualifying  deposits  as  compared  to the  total
qualifying  deposits  of  all  subscribing  Eligible  Account  Holders.  Only  a
person(s) with a qualifying deposit as of the eligibility

                                       17

<PAGE>



record date (or a successor entity or estate) shall receive subscription rights.
Any Person(s) added to a Savings  Account after the  Eligibility  Record Date is
not an Eligible  Account  Holder.  Subscription  rights received by officers and
directors in this category based on their increased  deposits in Stanton Federal
Savings  Bank  in  the  one-year  period   preceding   December  31,  1995,  are
subordinated to the subscription  rights of other Eligible Account Holders.  See
"-- Limitations on Purchases and Transfer of Shares."

Category  2:  Tax-Qualified  Employee  Benefit  Plans  (Second  Priority).   Our
tax-qualified  employee  benefit  plans  ("Employee  Plans")  have been  granted
subscription  rights  to  purchase  up to 8% of the total  shares  issued in the
conversion. The ESOP is an Employee Plan.

         The right of Employee  Plans to subscribe for shares is  subordinate to
the right of the Eligible Account Holders to subscribe for shares.  However,  in
the event the offering result in the issuance of shares above the maximum of the
EVR (i.e.,  more than 632,500 shares),  the Employee Plans have a priority right
to fill their subscription (the ESOP, the only Employee Plan,  currently intends
to purchase up to 8% of the common stock issued in the conversion). The Employee
Plans may,  however,  determine to purchase some or all of the shares covered by
their  subscriptions  after the conversion in the open market or, if approved by
the  OTS,  out  of   authorized   but  unissued   shares  in  the  event  of  an
oversubscription.

Category 3: Supplemental Eligible Account Holders (Third Priority). Supplemental
Eligible  Account  Holders are persons who had a deposit account of at least $50
with us on September 30, 1997. Each Supplemental  Eligible Account Holder who is
not an  Eligible  Account  Holder (or  persons  through a single  account)  will
receive  non-transferable  subscription rights to purchase that number of shares
which is equal to the greater of 7,500 shares ($75,000), or 15 times the product
(rounded down to the next whole number) obtained by multiplying the total number
of shares to be issued by a fraction of which the numerator is the amount of the
qualifying  deposit  of  the  Supplemental   Eligible  Account  Holder  and  the
denominator  is the total  amount of  qualifying  deposits  of all  Supplemental
Eligible  Account  Holders.  If the  exercise  of  subscription  rights  in this
category  results  in an  oversubscription,  shares  shall  be  allocated  among
subscribing  Supplemental  Eligible  Account  Holders so as to permit  each such
account holder, to the extent possible,  to purchase the lesser of 100 shares or
the total  amount of his  subscription.  Any  shares not so  allocated  shall be
allocated  among the  subscribing  Supplemental  Eligible  Account Holders on an
equitable basis, related to the amounts of their respective  qualifying deposits
as compared to the total  qualifying  deposits of all  subscribing  Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders. The right of Supplemental  Eligible Account Holders to
subscribe  for  shares is  subordinate  to the  rights of the  Eligible  Account
Holders and  Employee  Plans to subscribe  for shares.  See "--  Limitations  on
Purchases and Transfer of Shares."

Category 4: Other Members (Fourth Priority).  Other Members are persons who have
a deposit  account  of at least $50 on the  voting  record  date of our  special
meeting and certain  borrowers whose loans were  outstanding as of April 1, 1996
and  continue  to be  outstanding,  on the  voting  record  date of our  special
meeting. Each Other Member who is not an Eligible Account Holder or Supplemental
Eligible Account Holder,  will receive  non-transferable  subscription rights to
purchase up to 7,500 shares  ($75,000)  to the extent such shares are  available
following  subscriptions  by  Eligible  Account  Holders,  Employee  Plans,  and
Supplemental  Eligible Account Holders. In the event there are not enough shares
to fill the orders of the Other Members,  the subscriptions of the Other Members
will be  allocated  so that each  subscribing  Other  Member will be entitled to
purchase the lesser of 100 shares or the number of shares ordered. Any remaining
shares  will  be  allocated  among  Other  Members  whose  subscriptions  remain
unsatisfied  on a 100 share (or whatever  lesser amount is available)  per order
basis  until all  orders  have been  filled on the  remaining  shares  have been
allocated. See "-- Limitations on Purchases and Transfer of Shares."



                                       18

<PAGE>



         Members in  Non-Qualified  States.  We will make reasonable  efforts to
comply  with the  securities  laws of all states in the  United  States in which
persons  entitled  to  subscribe  for the shares  pursuant  to the Plan  reside.
However,  no person will be offered or allowed to purchase  any shares under the
Plan if he resides in a foreign  country or in a state with respect to which any
of the  following  apply:  (i) a small number of persons  otherwise  eligible to
subscribe  for shares  under the Plan  reside in that state or foreign  country;
(ii) the  granting of  subscription  rights or offer or sale of shares of common
stock to those persons  would  require  either us, or our employees to register,
under the  securities  laws of that  state or  foreign  country,  as a broker or
dealer or to register or otherwise qualify our securities for sale in that state
or  foreign  country;  or (iii)  such  registration  or  qualification  would be
impracticable for reasons of cost or otherwise. No payments will be made in lieu
of the granting of subscription rights to any person.

         We will pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies in the event we
become  aware of the transfer of  subscription  rights and will not honor orders
believed by us to involve the transfer of subscription rights.

   
         Expiration Date. The ^ subscription offering will expire at 11:00 a.m.,
Eastern Time, on __________ ____, 1998,  (Expiration Date).  Subscription rights
will become void if not exercised prior to the Expiration Date.
    

Community or Public Offering

   
         To the  extent  that  shares  remain  available  and  subject to market
conditions at or near the  completion  of the ^  subscription  offering,  we may
offer shares, in a community  offering,  with a preference to persons who reside
in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania or to selected persons in a Public Offering on
a  best-efforts  basis through Ryan,  Beck in such a manner as to promote a wide
distribution  of common  stock.  Any  orders  received  in  connection  with the
Community  Offering or Public  Offering,  if any, will receive a lower  priority
than orders properly made in the ^ subscription  offering by persons  exercising
Subscription  Rights.  Common  Stock sold in the  Community  Offering  or Public
Offering  will  be  sold  at  the  same  price  as  all  other  shares  in the ^
subscription  offering.  We have the right to reject any orders in the Community
Offering or Public Offering.
    

         No person  will be  permitted  to  purchase  more than 7,500  shares or
$75,000  of  Common  Stock in the  Community  Offering  or Public  Offering.  In
addition, no person,  related person or persons acting together, may purchase in
all categories more than 12,500 shares. To order Common Stock in connection with
the Community Offering or Public Offering,  if held, an executed stock order and
payment must be received prior to the  termination of the Community  Offering or
Public  Offering.  Promptly  upon receipt of available  funds,  together  with a
properly  executed  stock  order  and  account  withdrawal   authorization,   if
applicable, and certification,  Ryan, Beck will forward funds for any order in a
Community  Offering  or  Public  Offering  to  the  Bank  to be  deposited  in a
subscription escrow account.

         The date by which orders must be received in the Community  Offering or
Public Offering  ("Community  Offering or Public Offering Expiration Date") will
be set by us at the time of  commencement  of the  Community  Offering or Public
Offering;  provided  however,  if the Offerings are extended  beyond  __________
____,  1998,  each purchaser will have the opportunity to maintain,  modify,  or
rescind his order. In such event,  all funds received in the Community  Offering
or Public Offering will be promptly returned with interest unless the subscriber
affirmatively indicates otherwise.

         If an order in the Community  Offering or Public  Offering is accepted,
promptly  after  the  completion  of  the  conversion,  a  certificate  for  the
appropriate  amount of shares will be forwarded to Ryan, Beck as nominee for the
beneficial  owner.  In the event that an order is not accepted in the  Community
Offering  or Public  Offering  or the  conversion  is not  consummated,  Stanton
Federal Savings Bank will promptly

                                       19

<PAGE>



refund with interest the funds received to Ryan, Beck which will then return the
funds to  purchaser's  accounts.  If the aggregate pro forma market value of the
Stanton Federal Savings Bank, as converted, is less than $4,675,000 or more than
$7,273,750,  each  purchaser will have the right to modify or rescind his order.
The Plan also permits Ryan, Beck to conduct a Syndicated Public Offering,  which
is not expected to occur. If a Syndicated Public Offering does occur, it will be
on the same terms as the Community Offering and the Public Offering.

Ordering and Receiving Shares

   
         Use of Order Forms. Rights to subscribe in the ^ subscription  offering
or purchase stock in the Community Offering or Public Offering (if any) may only
be exercised by completion of an original order form. Persons ordering shares in
the ^  subscription  offering  must  deliver  by mail or in  person  a  properly
completed and executed  original order form to us prior to the Expiration  Date.
Order forms must be accompanied by full payment for all shares ordered.  See "--
Payment  for  Shares."  Subscription  rights  under the Plan will  expire on the
Expiration Date, whether or not we have been able to locate each person entitled
to subscription rights. Once submitted, subscription orders cannot be revoked or
modified without our consent.

         In the event an order form (i) is not  delivered  and is returned to us
by the United  States Postal  Service or we are unable to locate the  addressee,
(ii) is not  received  or is  received  after  the  Expiration  Date,  (iii)  is
defectively  completed or executed,  or (iv) is not  accompanied by full payment
for the shares  subscribed for (including  instances  where a savings account or
certificate  balance from which withdrawal is authorized is insufficient to fund
the amount of such required payment),  the subscription rights for the person to
whom such rights have been  granted  will lapse as though that person  failed to
return the completed  order form within the time period  specified.  We may, but
will not be required to, waive any irregularity on any order form or require the
submission  of  corrected  order  forms or the  remittance  of full  payment for
subscribed  shares by such date as we specify.  The waiver of an irregularity on
an order form in no way obligates us to waive any other irregularity on that, or
any irregularity on any other,  order form. Waivers will be considered on a case
by case basis.  Photocopies of order forms, payments from private third parties,
or electronic  transfers of funds ^ may not be accepted.  Our  interpretation of
the terms and conditions of the Plan and of the acceptability of the order forms
will be final.  We have the right to investigate  any  irregularity on any order
form.
    

         To ensure that each  purchaser  receives a prospectus at least 48 hours
before the Expiration  Date in accordance  with Rule 15c2-8 of the Exchange Act,
no prospectus will be mailed any later than five days prior to such date or hand
delivered  any later than two days prior to such  date.  Execution  of the order
form will confirm  receipt or delivery in  accordance  with Rule  15c2-8.  Order
forms will only be distributed with a prospectus.

   
         Payment  for  Shares.  Payment  for  shares  of  common  stock  in  the
subscription  offering may be made (i) in cash, if delivered in person,  (ii) by
check or money  order,  or (iii) by  authorization  of  withdrawal  from savings
accounts  (including  certificates of deposit)  maintained with us.  Appropriate
means by which such  withdrawals  may be  authorized  are  provided in the order
form.  Once  such a  withdrawal  has  been  authorized,  none of the  designated
withdrawal  amount may be used by the  subscriber  for any purpose other than to
purchase  the shares.  Where  payment  has been  authorized  to be made  through
withdrawal  from a savings  account,  the sum  authorized  for  withdrawal  will
continue to earn  interest at the contract  rate until the  conversion  has been
completed or terminated.  Interest penalties for early withdrawal  applicable to
certificate  accounts will not apply to withdrawals  authorized for the purchase
of shares;  however,  if a partial withdrawal  results in a certificate  account
with a  balance  less  than the  applicable  minimum  balance  requirement,  the
certificate  evidencing the remaining balance will earn interest at the passbook
savings
    

                                       20

<PAGE>



   
account rate subsequent to the withdrawal.  Payments made in cash or by check or
money order, will be placed in a segregated savings account and interest will be
paid by us at our  passbook  savings  account  rate  from  the date  payment  is
received  until the  conversion is completed or  terminated.  An executed  order
form, once received by us, may not be modified,  amended,  or rescinded  without
our consent,  unless the  conversion is not  completed  within 45 days after the
conclusion of the ^ subscription  offering,  in which event  subscribers  may be
given an opportunity to increase, decrease, or rescind their order. In the event
that the  conversion is not  consummated,  all funds  submitted  pursuant to the
offering will be refunded promptly with interest.
    

         Individual  Retirement  Accounts  ("IRAs")  maintained  with  us do not
permit investment in common stock. If you are interested in using your IRA funds
to purchase SFSB Common Stock, you must do so through a self-directed IRA. Since
we do not offer such accounts,  we will allow you to make a trustee-to-  trustee
transfer of the IRA funds to a trustee offering a self-directed IRA program with
the agreement  that such funds will be used to purchase SFSB Common Stock in the
Offering.  There will be no early withdrawal or IRS interest  penalties for such
transfers.  The new trustee would hold your stock in a self-directed  account in
the same manner as we now hold your IRA funds. An annual  administrative fee may
be payable to the new trustee.  If you are interested in using your IRA funds to
purchase SFSB Common Stock, you should contact our Stock  Information  Center as
soon as practicable  so that the necessary  forms may be forwarded for execution
and returned prior to the Expiration Date. In addition,  the provisions of ERISA
and IRS regulations  require that officers,  directors and 10%  stockholders who
use  self-directed  IRA  funds to  purchase  shares  in the  Offering  make such
purchases for the exclusive benefit of IRAs.

   
         The ESOP may subscribe  for shares by  submitting  its order form along
with evidence of a loan commitment from a financial  institution or SFSB for the
purchase of the shares during the ^ subscription  offering and by making payment
for shares on the date of completion of the conversion.
    

         Federal regulations  prohibit us from lending funds or extending credit
to any person to purchase shares in the conversion.

         Delivery of Stock  Certificates.  Certificates  representing  shares of
common stock  issued in the  conversion  will be mailed to the  person(s) at the
address noted on the order form, as soon as practicable  following  consummation
of the conversion. Any certificates returned as undeliverable will be held until
properly  claimed or otherwise  disposed.  Persons  ordering shares might not be
able to sell their shares until they receive their stock certificates.

Plan of Distribution

   
         Materials  for the  subscription  offering  have  been  distributed  to
eligible  subscribers  by mail.  Additional  copies are  available  at our stock
information  center. Our officers may be available to answer questions about the
conversion.  Responses to questions  about us will be limited to the information
contained in this document. Officers will not be authorized to render investment
advice.  All subscribers for the shares being offered will be instructed to send
payment  directly to us. The funds will be held in a segregated  special  escrow
account and will not be  released  until the  closing of the  conversion  or its
termination.
    

Marketing Arrangements

         Ryan, Beck has been engaged as our consultant and financial  advisor in
connection with the offering. Ryan, Beck has agreed to exercise its best efforts
to  solicit  subscriptions  and  purchase  orders  for  shares in the  offering.
However,  Ryan,  Beck is not  obligated to take or purchase any shares of common
stock in the offering.  Ryan, Beck will receive  $120,000 which includes payment
for out-of-pocket and legal

                                       21

<PAGE>



   
expenses.  In the event that a selected  dealers  agreement  is entered  into in
connection with a public offering and/or syndicated public offering, we will pay
a fee to such selected  dealers (which may include Ryan,  Beck) of up to 5.5% of
the aggregate amount of stock sold in connection with the public offering and/or
syndicated  public  offering.  Also, we have agreed to indemnify  Ryan, Beck for
reasonable  costs and expenses in connection  with certain claims or liabilities
which might be asserted  against Ryan,  Beck.  This  indemnification  covers the
investigation,  preparation of defense and defense of any action,  proceeding or
claim  relating  to  misrepresentation  or breach  of  warranty  of the  written
agreement  among  Ryan,  Beck and us or the  omission  or alleged  omission of a
material  fact  required to be stated or  necessary in the  prospectus  or other
documents.
    

         The shares  will be offered  principally  by the  distribution  of this
document and through activities  conducted at a Stock Information Center located
at our main office.  The Stock Information  Center is expected to operate during
our normal business hours throughout the offering.  A registered  representative
employed by Ryan, Beck will be working at, and supervising the operation of, the
Stock Information  Center.  Ryan, Beck will assist us in responding to questions
regarding  the  conversion  and the offering  and  processing  order forms.  Our
personnel will be present in the Stock  Information  Center to assist Ryan, Beck
with clerical matters and to answer questions related solely to our business.

Stock Pricing

         FinPro, an independent economic consulting and appraisal firm, which is
experienced  in the  evaluation  and appraisal of business  entities,  including
savings institutions  involved in the conversion process has been retained by us
to prepare an appraisal of our  estimated  pro forma market  value.  FinPro will
receive a fee of $25,000 for  preparing  the  appraisal  and its  assistance  in
connection  with the  preparation  of a business plan and will be reimbursed for
reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses.  We have agreed to  indemnify  FinPro under
certain  circumstances  against liabilities and expenses arising out of or based
on any  misstatement  or untrue  statement of a material  fact  contained in the
information supplied by us to FinPro.

         The appraisal  was prepared by FinPro in reliance upon the  information
contained herein, including the financial statements.  The appraisal contains an
analysis of a number of factors  including,  but not  limited to, our  financial
condition and operating  trends,  the  competitive  environment  within which we
operate,  operating trends of certain savings  institutions and savings and loan
holding  companies,  relevant  economic  conditions,  both nationally and in the
Commonwealth   of   Pennsylvania   which  affect  the   operations   of  savings
institutions,  and stock  market  values of  certain  savings  institutions.  In
addition,  FinPro  has  advised  us that it has  considered  the  effect  of the
additional  capital raised by the sale of the shares on our estimated  aggregate
pro forma market value.

         On the basis of the above, FinPro has determined,  in its opinion, that
as of November  24, 1997 our  estimated  aggregate  pro forma  market  value was
$5,500,000.  OTS regulations  require,  however,  that the appraiser establish a
range of value for the stock to allow for fluctuations in the aggregate value of
the stock due to changing  market  conditions  and other  factors.  Accordingly,
FinPro has  established a range of value from  $4,675,000 to $6,325,000  for the
offering,  the  EVR.  The EVR  will be  updated  prior  to  consummation  of the
conversion and the EVR may increase to $7,273,750.

         The  board  of  directors  has  reviewed  the  independent   appraisal,
including  the  stated   methodology  of  the  independent   appraiser  and  the
assumptions used in the preparation of the independent  appraisal.  The board of
directors is relying upon the  expertise,  experience  and  independence  of the
appraiser  and  is  not  qualified  to  determine  the  appropriateness  of  the
assumptions.


                                       22

<PAGE>



         In order for stock sales to take place  FinPro must  confirm to the OTS
that,  to the best of FinPro's  knowledge  and  judgment,  nothing of a material
nature has occurred which would cause FinPro to conclude that the Purchase Price
on an aggregate basis was incompatible  with FinPro's  estimate of our pro forma
market value of us in converted form at the time of the sale. If, however, facts
do not justify such a statement, an amended EVR may be established.

         The  appraisal  is  not  a  recommendation   of  any  kind  as  to  the
advisability of purchasing these shares. In preparing the appraisal,  FinPro has
relied  upon  and  assumed  the  accuracy  and  completeness  of  financial  and
statistical  information provided by us. FinPro did not independently verify the
financial  statements and other information provided by us, nor did FinPro value
independently our assets and liabilities.  The appraisal  considers us only as a
going concern and should not be considered as our liquidation  value.  Moreover,
because the  appraisal is based upon  estimates and  projections  of a number of
matters which are subject to change,  the market price of the common stock could
decline below $10.00.

Change in Number of Shares to be Issued in the Conversion

         Depending  on  market  and  financial  conditions  at the  time  of the
completion  of the  offerings,  we may  significantly  increase or decrease  the
number of shares to be issued in the conversion.  In the event of an increase in
the  valuation,  we may  increase the total number of shares to be issued in the
conversion.  An  increase  in the  total  number  of  shares to be issued in the
conversion would decrease a subscriber's  percentage  ownership interest and the
pro forma net worth (book value) per share and increase the pro forma net income
and net worth (book  value) on an  aggregate  basis.  In the event of a material
reduction in the valuation, we may decrease the number of shares to be issued to
reflect the reduced  valuation.  A decrease in the number of shares to be issued
in the conversion would increase a subscriber's  percentage  ownership  interest
and the pro forma net worth (book  value) per share and  decrease  pro forma net
income and net worth on an aggregate basis.

   
         Persons ordering shares will not be permitted to modify or cancel their
orders unless the change in the number of shares to be issued in the  conversion
results  in an  offering  which is  either  less  than  $4,675,000  or more than
$7,273,750.  If the  offering  is  either  less  than  $4,675,000  or more  than
$7,273,750,  only, persons who subscribed for shares will have an opportunity to
modify or cancel their orders.  We will resolicit such persons by providing them
an updated  prospectus or supplement (and filing a  post-effective  amendment to
this  offering).  Persons  who did not  subscribe  for shares  will not have the
opportunity to do so.
    

Limitations on Purchases and Transfer of Shares

         The Plan  provides for certain  additional  purchase  limitations.  The
minimum purchase is 25 shares and the maximum purchase for any individual person
or persons ordering through a single account,  is 7,500 shares. In addition,  no
person  or  persons  ordering  through a single  account,  together  with  their
associates,  or group of persons acting together,  may purchase more than 12,500
shares,  except for the Employee Plans which may purchase up to 8% of the shares
sold. The OTS  regulations  governing the  conversion  provide that officers and
directors and their associates may not purchase, in the aggregate, more than 35%
of the shares issued pursuant to the conversion. Pursuant to the Plan, the board
of directors has the authority to determine  whether  persons are  associates or
acting in concert.

         Depending on market  conditions  and the results of the  offering,  the
board of directors  may  increase or decrease  any of the  purchase  limitations
without the approval of our members and without resoliciting subscribers. If the
maximum purchase limitation is increased, persons who ordered the maximum amount

                                       23

<PAGE>



will be given the first  opportunity to increase  their orders.  In doing so the
preference categories in the offerings will be followed.

         In the event of an  increase in the total  number of shares  offered in
the  conversion  due to an  increase  in the  EVR  of up to 15%  (the  "Adjusted
Maximum"),  the  additional  shares will be allocated in the following  order of
priority:  (i) to  fill  the  Employee  Plans'  subscription  of up to 8% of the
Adjusted  Maximum number of shares (the ESOP currently  intends to subscribe for
8%);  (ii) in the event that there is an  oversubscription  by Eligible  Account
Holders, to fill unfulfilled subscriptions of Eligible Account Holders; (iii) in
the event that there is an  oversubscription  by Supplemental  Eligible  Account
Holders,  to fill  unfulfilled  subscriptions  to Supplemental  Eligible Account
Holders;  (iv) in the event that there is an  oversubscription by Other Members,
to fill unfulfilled  subscriptions of Other Members; and (v) to fill unfulfilled
subscriptions  in the  Community  Offering  or  Public  Offering  to the  extent
possible.

         The  term  "associate"  of  a  person  means  (i)  any  corporation  or
organization  (other than us or a  majority-owned  subsidiary  of ours) of which
such  person is an  officer  or  partner  or is,  directly  or  indirectly,  the
beneficial  owner of 10% or more of any  class of  equity  securities,  (ii) any
trust or other estate in which such person has a substantial beneficial interest
or as to which such person serves as director or in a similar fiduciary capacity
(excluding  tax-qualified  employee stock benefit plans), and (iii) any relative
or spouse of such person or any relative of such  spouse,  who has the same home
as  such  person  or  who  is a  director  or  officer  of  us,  or  any  of our
subsidiaries.  For example, a corporation of which a person serves as an officer
would be an associate of that person, and therefore all shares purchased by that
corporation  would be  included  with the  number of shares  which  that  person
individually could purchase under the above limitations.

         The term  "officer"  may include our chairman of the board,  president,
vice  presidents  in charge  of  principal  business  functions,  Secretary  and
Treasurer and any other person  performing  similar  functions.  All  references
herein to an officer have the same meaning as used for an officer in the Plan.

         To order  shares in the  conversion,  persons  must  certify that their
purchase does not conflict with the purchase limitations.  In the event that the
purchase  limitations  are violated by any person  (including  any  associate or
group of persons  affiliated or otherwise  acting in concert with such persons),
we will have the right to  purchase  from  that  person at $10.00  per share all
shares  acquired by that person in excess of the  purchase  limitations.  If the
excess shares have been sold by that person,  we may recover the profit from the
sale of the shares by that  person.  We may assign our right  either to purchase
the excess shares or to recover the profits from their sale.

         Shares of common stock  purchased  pursuant to the  conversion  will be
freely transferable,  except for shares purchased by our directors and officers.
For certain restrictions on the shares purchased by directors and officers,  see
" --  Restrictions  on Sales and Purchases of Shares by Directors and Officers."
In  addition,  under  guidelines  of the  NASD,  members  of the NASD and  their
associates  are subject to certain  restrictions  on the transfer of  securities
purchased  in  accordance  with  subscription  rights and to  certain  reporting
requirements upon purchase of such securities.

Restrictions on Repurchase of Shares

         Generally, during the first year following the conversion, SFSB may not
repurchase  its shares and during each of the second and third  years  following
the  conversion,  SFSB may  repurchase  five percent of the  outstanding  shares
provided they are purchased in open-market  transactions.  Repurchases  must not
cause us to become  undercapitalized  and at least 10 days  prior  notice of the
repurchase  must be provided to the OTS.  The OTS may  disapprove  a  repurchase
program upon a determination that (1) the repurchase

                                       24

<PAGE>



program would  adversely  affect our financial  condition,  (2) the  information
submitted  is  insufficient  upon which to base a  conclusion  as to whether the
financial condition would be adversely affected, or (3) a valid business purpose
was  not  demonstrated.  However,  the  OTS  may  grant  special  permission  to
repurchase  shares after six months  following the  conversion and to repurchase
more than five percent  during each of the second and third years.  In addition,
SEC rules also govern the method,  time,  price,  and number of shares of common
stock that may be  repurchased  by SFSB and  affiliated  purchasers.  If, in the
future,  the  rules  and  regulations  regarding  the  repurchase  of stock  are
liberalized, SFSB may utilize the rules and regulations then in effect.

Restrictions on Sales and Purchases of Shares by Directors and Officers

         Shares  purchased by directors and officers of SFSB may not be sold for
one year  following  the  conversion,  except  in the  event of the death of the
director or officer.  Any shares  issued to  directors  and  officers as a stock
dividend,  stock split,  or otherwise with respect to restricted  stock shall be
subject to the same restrictions.

         For three years  following the  conversion,  directors and officers may
purchase  shares only  through a  registered  broker or dealer.  Exceptions  are
available  only if the OTS has approved the purchase or the purchase is an arm's
length transaction and involves more than one percent of the outstanding shares.

Interpretation and Amendment of the Plan

         We  have  the   authority  to  interpret   and  amend  the  Plan.   Our
interpretations  are final.  Amendments  to the Plan after the receipt of member
approval will not need further member approval unless required by the OTS.

Conditions and Termination

         Completion of the  conversion  requires (i) the approval of the Plan by
the  affirmative  vote of not less than a majority of the total  number of votes
eligible to be cast by our members;  and (ii)  completion  of the sale of shares
within  24  months  following  approval  of the  Plan by our  members.  If these
conditions are not  satisfied,  the Plan will be terminated and we will continue
our business in the mutual form of  organization.  We may  terminate the Plan at
any time  prior to the  meeting  of  members  to vote on the Plan or at any time
thereafter with the approval of the OTS.

Other

         All  statements  made in this  document  are  hereby  qualified  by the
contents of the Plan of  conversion,  the material  terms of which are set forth
herein.  The Plan of  Conversion  is attached to the proxy  statement  mailed to
certain  depositors and borrowers.  Copies of the Plan are available from us and
should be consulted for further information. Adoption of the Plan by our members
authorizes us to interpret, amend or terminate the Plan.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations is intended to assist you in understanding our financial condition
and results of operations.  The  information in this section should also be read
with our Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements elsewhere in
this document.

General

   
         SFSB has  recently  been  formed  and,  accordingly,  has no results of
operations. The following discussion relates only to our financial condition and
results of operations.  Please refer to our Pro Forma Data discussion  beginning
on  page  7 to see  the  potential  effects  of the  offering  on our  financial
statements.
    

         Our results of  operations  depend  primarily on net  interest  income,
which is determined by (i) the  difference  between rates of interest we earn on
our interest-earning assets and the rates we pay on interest-bearing liabilities
(our interest rate spread),  and (ii) the relative  amounts of  interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities,  consisting of deposits. Our results of
operations  are also  affected by  non-interest  income,  including,  primarily,
income from customer deposit account service charges,  gains and losses from the
sale of investments and  mortgage-backed  securities and  non-interest  expense,
including,  primarily,  compensation  and  employee  benefits,  federal  deposit
insurance  premiums,  office  occupancy  costs,  and data processing  costs. Our
results of operations also are affected  significantly by general,  and economic
and  competitive  conditions,  particularly  changes in market  interest  rates,
government  policies  and actions of  regulatory  authorities,  all of which are
beyond our control.

Recent Business Strategy

   
         Prior to September  1996, we conducted  business  from one office,  our
Lawrenceville  office located within the City of Pittsburgh.  The  Lawrenceville
office has limited space and physical facilities, and the community's economy is
stagnant.  Accordingly,  we built a new office on Saxonburg  Boulevard in Shaler
Township,  a growing  suburb of  Pittsburgh,  which opened as our main office in
September  1996.  The new  office  provides  expanded  teller  areas,  drive  in
facilities  and offices for growth and  expansion of existing and new  services.
During  our first  year,  our new  office  opened  approximately  $9  million in
deposits, which significantly exceeded our expectations and business plan.

         The ^ costs associated with opening the office ^ contributed to our net
^ loss for the year ended December 31, 1996 and nine months ended  September 30,
1997.  Occupancy and equipment  expense have more than doubled and will continue
to  adversely  affect net income,  which  might  result in net losses for future
periods,  unless and until,  we are able to expand our  lending  and  investment
activities.  We face  extensive  competition  in our new  market  area  for loan
originations beyond the competition for insured savings deposits. In addition to
commercial  banks,  thrifts  institutions and other financial  institutions,  we
compete  for  loan  originations  with  mortgage  banking  companies,  insurance
companies and investment  banking  companies.  ^ Because of this competition for
loans,  and combined with the fact that it is typical with opening a new banking
office,  the amount of loan  originations  from the new office is  significantly
below the  amount of new  deposits.  ^ Our loans to  deposit  ratio was 34.7% at
September 30, 1997.
    

         To the extent new deposits have exceeded our loan  originations  at the
new office, we have invested these deposits  primarily in short-term  securities
so that they are  readily  available  to fund new loans in our market  area.  As
discussed  herein,  this has improved our interest rate risk,  but has adversely
affected our net  interest  income.  One of the  business  reasons for the stock
conversion is to raise capital to expand

                                       27

<PAGE>



our  business  commensurate  with our new  physical  facilities.  Since  the new
deposits  and stock  proceeds  are  expected to exceed our ability to  originate
loans in our market area, we may purchase loans,  mortgage-backed securities and
other  investments  with higher yields that will improve our interest income and
net income.

   
^ Market Risk Analysis

         Asset/Liability  Management.  Our assets and  liabilities  are interest
rate  sensitive.  An asset or  liability  is interest  rate  sensitive  within a
specific  time period if it will mature or reprice  within that time period.  If
our  assets  mature or reprice  more  quickly  or to a greater  extent  than our
liabilities,  our net  portfolio  value and net  interest  income  would tend to
increase  during periods of rising interest rates but decrease during periods of
falling interest rates. Conversely,  if our assets mature or reprice more slowly
or to a lesser  extent than our  liabilities,  our net  portfolio  value and net
interest  income would tend to decrease  during periods of rising interest rates
but increase during periods of falling  interest  rates.  Our policy has been to
address the interest rate risk inherent in the  historical  savings  institution
business  of  originating  long-term  loans  funded by  short-term  deposits  by
maintaining  sufficient  liquid  assets for  material and  prolonged  changes in
interest rates. We do not engage in, or intend to engage in, trading  activities
or use derivative instruments to control our interest rate risk.
    

         We emphasize  origination of fixed rate real estate loans in the nature
of one- to- four family and home equity loans.  These loans  approximated 89% of
our loan  portfolio at September  30, 1997.  Currently  liquid  assets are at an
unusually  high level due to the influx of new  deposits  at the new home office
opened  in  September  1996,  which  have  not yet  been  invested  in  loans or
longer-term securities. Although maintaining liquid assets reduces interest rate
risk, it also tends to reduce potential net income because liquid assets usually
provide a lower  yield than less liquid  assets.  At  September  30,  1997,  the
average  weighted term to maturity of our mortgage  loan  portfolio was slightly
more than 20 years and the average  weighted  term of our  deposits was slightly
less than 11 months. See "Risk  Factors-Insufficient  Loan Demand" and "Business
of Stanton Federal Savings Bank -- Lending Activities."

   
         Net Portfolio  Value.^ In recent  years,  we have measured our interest
rate sensitivity by computing the "gap" between the assets and liabilities which
were  expected  to mature or  reprice  within  certain  time  periods,  based on
assumptions  regarding loan prepayment and deposit decay rates formerly provided
by the OTS.  However,  we now compute  amounts by which the net present value of
expected  cash flows from assets,  liabilities  and off balance sheet items (our
net  portfolio  value or "NPV")  would change in the event of a range of assumed
changes in market interest rates. These computations  estimate the effect on our
NPV  from  instantaneous  and  permanent  1% to 4%  (100  to 400  basis  points)
increases and decreases in market  interest rates.  Based upon OTS  assumptions,
the following table presents our NPV at September 30, 1997.

(1)  Calculated as the estimated NPV divided by present value of total assets.
(2)  Calculated  as the  excess  (deficiency)  of the  NPV  ratio  assuming  the
     indicated change in interest rates over the estimated NPV ratio assuming no
     change in interest rates.

         Management believes these calculations indicate that we would be deemed
to have an  average  or normal  level of  interest  rate risk  under  applicable
regulatory  capital   requirements.   See  "Regulation  --  Savings  Institution
Regulation -- Regulatory Capital Requirements."

         While we cannot predict  future  interest rates or their effects on our
NPV or net interest income,  we do not expect current  interest rates,  assuming
rates  remain  stable,  to  have a  material  adverse  effect  on our NPV or net
interest income.  Computations of prospective  effects of hypothetical  interest
rate changes are based on numerous  assumptions,  including  relative  levels of
market interest rates, prepayments and deposit run-offs and should not be relied
upon as indicative of actual results.  Certain shortcomings are inherent in such
computations.  Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturity
or periods  of  repricing  they may react at  different  times and in  different
degrees to changes in the market interest  rates.  The interest rates on certain
types of assets and  liabilities  may  fluctuate in advance of changes in market
interest  rates,  while rates on other types of assets and  liabilities  may lag
behind changes in market  interest  rates.  In the event of a change in interest
rates,  prepayments and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from
those assumed in making calculations set forth above. Additionally, an increased
credit risk may result as the ability of many  borrowers  to service  their debt
may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

         The board of directors  reviews our asset and liability  policies.  The
board of directors meets  quarterly to review interest rate risk and trends,  as
well as liquidity and capital ratios and  requirements.  Management  administers
the policies and  determinations  of the board of directors  with respect to our
asset and liability goals and strategies. We expect that our asset and liability
policies and strategies  will continue as described so long as  competitive  and
regulatory  conditions in the financial institution industry and market interest
rates continue as they have in recent years.

Financial Condition

         Our total assets increased $4.5 million,  or 13.5%, to $37.8 million at
September  30, 1997 from $33.3  million at December 31,  1996.  Our increase was
primarily  attributable  to a $1.1  million  increase  in  our  interest-bearing
deposits  with other banks,  a $1.8  million in our  investment  securities  and
mortgage-backed  securities held to maturity, and a $793,000 increase in our net
loan  portfolio.  Our  increase in  investment  and  mortgage-backed  securities
outpaced our loan originations in our lending area. The increase in our deposits
funded our  increase in assets at  September  30,  1997.  Our total  liabilities
increased  $4.6 million,  or 15.5%,  to $34.3 million at September 30, 1997 from
$29.7 million at December 31, 1996. Our increase was primarily attributable to a
$4.6 million increase in our deposits. Our deposits increased as a result of new
deposits  being  attracted to our new Shaler  Township  office,  which opened in
September  1996.  We believe that the  aggregate  dollar amount of deposits will
remain stable.

Results of Operations

         Our net income  decreased  $193,000 for the nine months ended September
30,  1997,  to a net loss of  $183,000  from net income of $10,000  for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1996. Our decrease was primarily  attributable  to a
$30,000  increase in our provision for loan losses,  an $89,000  decrease in our
noninterest  income, a $198,000 increase in our noninterest  expense offset by a
$19,000  increase  in our net  interest  income and a $107,000  decrease  in our
income taxes due to our net loss on operations.

         Our net income decreased $209,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996,
to a net loss of $46,000 from net income of $163,000 for the year ended December
31, 1995. Our decrease was primarily  attributable to a $46,000  decrease in net
interest income, a $16,000 increase in our provision for loan losses, a $406,000
increase  in our  noninterest  expense  offset  by a  $137,000  increase  in our
noninterest  income and a $119,000  decrease in our income  taxes due to our net
loss on operations.

         Net  Interest  Income.  Net  interest  income  is the most  significant
component of our income from  operations.  Net interest income is the difference
between  interest we receive on our  interest-earning  assets  primarily  loans,
investment   and   mortgage-backed   securities  and  interest  we  pay  on  our
interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits. Net interest income depends on
the volume of and rates earned on interest-earning  assets and the volume of and
rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

         The following  tables set forth a summary of average balances of assets
and liabilities as well as average yield and cost information.  Average balances
are  derived  from  month-end  balances,  however,  we do not believe the use of
month-end  balances  has  caused any  material  differences  in the  information
presented.  Tax  equivalent  adjustments  have been made to yields on securities
that are exempt from federal income tax, assuming a tax rate of 34%.

         The  table  below  sets  forth  information  regarding  changes  in our
interest  income  and  interest  expense  for the  periods  indicated.  For each
category  of  our  interest-earning  assets  and  interest-bearing  liabilities,
information  is  provided  on  changes  attributable  to (i)  changes  in volume
(changes in volume multiplied by old rate), and (ii) changes in rate (changes in
rate  multiplied  by old volume).  Increases  and decreases due to both rate and
volume, which cannot be segregated,  have been allocated  proportionately to the
change due to volume and the change due to rate.

                                                                     33

         Our net interest income increased  $19,000,  or 3.3%, to $595,000 ^ for
the nine months  ended  September  30,  1997,  as compared to the same period in
1996.   The   increase  was   primarily   due  to  the  growth  in  our  average
interest-earning  assets to $33.1  million in 1997 from  $28.1  million in 1996,
partially  offset  by a decline  in our  interest  rate  spread of 2.19% in 1997
compared  to 2.42% in 1996.  The  decline  in our  interest  rate  spread  had a
corresponding impact on our net yield on interest-earning  assets which declined
33 basis points to 2.40% in 1997.
    

         The  increase in our average  interest-earning  assets of $5.0  million
reflects increases of $1.7 million in our balance of average loans, $2.0 million
in  the  average  investment  securities  and  $1.3  million  in  average  other
interest-earning   assets,   which  was  funded  by  our   increase  in  average
interest-bearing deposits. The increase in our average interest-bearing deposits
reflects the opening of our Shaler Township office in September 1996.

         Our  interest  rate  spread  and net yield on  interest-earning  assets
declined at September 30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 primarily due
to an increase in our average  cost of funds to 4.56% in 1997  compared to 4.34%
in 1996.  The  increase  in our  average  cost of funds was  affected  by a $4.7
million increase in our balance of average  certificates of deposits,  primarily
from the new deposits  obtained from the opening of our Shaler  Township  office
and the movement from our lower paying passbook  accounts to our higher yielding
certificate accounts.

         Our net interest  income  decreased  $45,000,  or 5.1%, to $829,000 for
1996 from  $874,000 for the same period in 1995.  The decrease was primarily due
to the increase in our average interest-bearing  liabilities to $26.1 million in
1996 from $25.1  million in 1995  coupled  with a decline in our  interest  rate
spread to 2.62% in 1996 from 2.76% in 1995.  The decline in interest rate spread
had a  corresponding  impact on our net yield on  interest-earning  assets which
declined 22 basis points to 2.90% in 1996.

         The  increase  in our  average  interest-bearing  liabilities  of  $1.0
million  reflects  an increase of $1.6  million in our average  certificates  of
deposit offset by a $164,000  decrease in our  interest-bearing  demand deposits
and a $408,000  decrease in our savings  deposit  accounts.  The increase in our
average deposits reflects the opening of our Shaler Township office in September
1996 and the  movement  of our lower  paying  passbook  accounts  to our  higher
yielding certificate accounts.

   
         Provision  for Loan Losses.  Our  provision  for loan losses  increased
$30,000 to $39,000 for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997  compared with
$9,000 for the same period in 1996.  Our  provision  for loan  losses  increased
$16,000 to $37,000 in 1996 from  $21,000 in 1995.  The increase in the amount of
our provision for loan losses in 1996 was based upon our  non-performing  assets
portfolio  increasing  $77,000  coupled  with our one-to  four  -family and home
equity mortgage  portfolios  increasing  $1.5 million.  ^ Our provision for loan
losses  increased  for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 ^,  due to
management's  evaluation of the current local  economic  conditions,  our recent
increase in loan originations and our review of industry standards.
    

         Historically, we have emphasized our loss experience over other factors
in establishing the provision for loan losses.  We review the allowance for loan
losses in relation to (i) our past loan loss experience, (ii) known and inherent
risks in our portfolio,  (iii) adverse situations that may affect the borrower's
ability to repay, (iv) the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and (v)
current economic conditions. Because of the increased coverage of the allowances
for loan losses to total  loans,  management  believes  the  allowance  for loan
losses is at a level that is  considered to be adequate to provide for estimated
losses;  however,  there can be no assurance that further  additions will not be
made to the allowance and that such losses will not exceed the estimated amount.

         Noninterest  Income.  Our noninterest  income decreased $89,000 for the
nine months ended  September  30, 1997,  compared to the same period in 1996 and
increased $137,000 in 1996 compared to 1995. For the nine months ended September
30, 1997,  we had no sales from our available  for sale  portfolio.  In 1996, we
recognized  $124,000  of gains from the sales of FHLMC  common  stock.  However,
since the opening of our Shaler  Township  office in September 1996, our service
fees  increased  due to a higher fee structure  and a larger  deposit base.  Our
other income  increased in 1997 due to our safe deposit rental income of $3,000.
Our Shaler  Township  office offers safe deposit  rental to our  depositors.  In
order to promote this service,  we offered free rental to our depositors for the
remainder of 1996.  Our  Lawrenceville  office does not offer this  service.  In
fiscal  1996,  our other  income  increased  $7,800  from fiscal  1995.  Of this
increase,  our rental income increased $2,900, since we recognized a full year's
rental on our property at 920  Saxonburg  Boulevard.  Due to the increase in our
mortgage loans, our appraisal fee and credit report income increased $1,200. Due
to our larger depositor base, our miscellaneous income increased $1,400.

   
         Noninterest Expense. Our noninterest expense increased by $202,000,  to
$940,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,  compared to $738,000 for
the same period in 1996.  The increase was the result of our  operating a larger
organization  including the opening of our Shaler  Township  office in September
1996.  Of the  increase,  $147,000 was in  compensation  and employee  benefits,
$102,000 in expenses associated with the Shaler Township office, $53,000 in data
processing and $78,000 in other  operating  expenses.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, we also began a directors  consultation  and retirement plan
and recognized  $56,000 of expense to implement this plan,  which is included in
other  operating  expenses.  Our increase in noninterest  expenses was partially
offset by a $180,000  decrease in federal  insurance  premiums.  The decrease in
federal insurance premiums was the result of the recapitalization of the Savings
Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF").  The SAIF insurance assessment rate paid by
us before the  recapitalization  was 23(cent) per $100 of deposits and decreased
to 6.5(cent) per $100 of deposits after the recapitalization of SAIF.
    

         Our noninterest  expense  increased by $406,000,  to $1,033,000 in 1996
compared to $627,000 in 1995. Of the increase,  $160,000  relates to our special
assessment  required to  recapitalize  the SAIF.  On  September  30,  1996,  the
President  signed into law legislation  which included the  recapitalization  of
SAIF by a one time charge to SAIF-insured  institutions of 65.7 basis points per
$100 of insurable  deposits as of March 31,  1995.  Future  deposit  expense are
expected to be lower as a result of this one-time  charge.  The legislation also
provides that we will pay, in addition to the normal deposit  insurance  premium
as a member  of the SAIF,  an annual  amount  equal to  approximately  6.4 basis
points of  outstanding  SAIF  deposits  toward the  retirement  of the Financing
Corporation  Bonds ("Fico Bonds") issued in the 1980's to assist in the recovery
of the savings and loan industry. Members of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), by
contrast,  will pay, in  addition to their  normal  deposit  insurance  premium,
approximately  1.3  basis  points  toward  the  retirement  of the  Fico  Bonds.
Beginning no later than January 1, 2000,  the rate paid to retire the Fico Bonds
will be equal for members of the BIF and the SAIF. The Act also provides for the
merging  of the BIF and the  SAIF by  January  1,  1999  provided  there  are no
financial  institutions  still  chartered as savings  associations at that time.
Should the insurance  funds be merged before  January 1, 2000,  the rate paid by
all members of this new fund to retire the Fico Bonds would be equal.

         In  fiscal  1996,  due to the  hiring  and  training  of five full time
equivalent  personnel  in  connection  with the  opening of our Shaler  Township
office in September 1996, our noninterest expenses increased  significantly from
fiscal 1995.  Because of these changes,  our compensation and employee  benefits
expenses  increased  $119,000.  Our occupancy and equipment  expenses  increased
$62,000  due to our  additional  operating  expenses  incurred in  operating  an
additional office. Our data processing costs increased $11,000

                                       35

<PAGE>



due to our new office and the number of new accounts we opened, particularly our
demand deposits accounts.  Our other operating expenses increased $52,000 due to
miscellaneous items pertaining to our new office start up.

   
         As a result of the conversion and in addition to the effects of opening
a new office,  our noninterest  expense might also increase because of the costs
associated with our employee stock ownership  plan,  restricted  stock ownership
plan, if implemented, and the costs of becoming a public company.
    

         A great  deal of  information  has been  disseminated  about the global
computer year 2000. Many computer  programs that can only  distinguish the final
two digits of the year entered (a common programming  practice in earlier years)
are  expected  to read  entries  for the year 2000 as the year 1900 and  compute
payment,  interest or delinquency  based on the wrong date or are expected to be
unable to compute  payment,  interest or  delinquency.  Rapid and accurate  data
processing is essential to our operation.  Data  processing is also essential to
most other financial institutions and many other companies.  All of our material
data  processing  that could be affected by this  problem is provided by a third
party  service  bureau.  Our  service  bureau has  advised us that it expects to
resolve this  potential  problem before the year 2000.  However,  if our service
bureau is unable to resolve  this  potential  problem in time,  we would  likely
experience  significant  data  processing  delays,  mistakes or failures.  These
delays,  mistakes or failures  could have a  significant  adverse  impact on our
financial condition and our results of operation.

         Income  Tax  Expense  (Benefit).   Our  income  tax  benefit  increased
$107,000,  to $146,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $39,000
for the same period in 1996.  The increase  resulted from our larger net loss on
operations.  Our income taxes decreased $120,000 to a net tax benefit of $40,000
in 1996 from an income tax  expense  of  $79,000  in 1995,  due to a net loss on
operations in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         We are required to maintain  minimum levels of liquid assets as defined
by OTS regulations.  This requirement,  which varies from time to time depending
upon economic  conditions and deposit  flows,  is based upon a percentage of our
deposits and short-term borrowings. The required minimum ratio currently is 5.0%
and our regulatory  liquidity ratio was 24.88%,  14.83%, and 30.07% at September
30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1995.

         Our  primary  sources  of funds are  deposits,  repayment  of loans and
mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments, interest-bearing deposits
with other banks and funds provided from operations.  While scheduled repayments
of loans and mortgage-backed  securities and maturities of investment securities
are predicable sources of funds, deposit flows, and loan prepayments are greatly
influenced  by the general  level of interest  rates,  economic  conditions  and
competition.  We use our liquid resources  principally to fund loan commitments,
maturing  certificates of deposit and demand deposit  withdrawals,  to invest in
other interest-earning assets, and to meet operating expenses.

         Net  cash  used for our  operating  activities  (the  cash  effects  of
transactions that enter into our  determination of net income -- e.g.,  non-cash
items,  amortization and  depreciation,  provision for loan losses) at September
30, 1997 was $140,000 compared to net cash provided by our operating  activities
of $225,000 at September 30, 1996.  Net cash used for our  operating  activities
for fiscal 1997 was $32,000  compared to net cash provided by our  operations of
$180,000 for fiscal 1996.


                                       36

<PAGE>



         Net cash  used for our  investing  activities  (i.e.,  cash  disbursed,
primarily for investment  securities and mortgage-backed  securities  portfolios
and our loan portfolio) totaled $2.8 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1997, an increase of $1.7 million from  September 30, 1996. The increase was
primarily  attributable  to our use of $564,000 in cash to fund the  increase in
loan  originations  and the use of $2.0 million in cash to fund the net increase
in investment and  mortgage-backed  securities.  Net cash used for our investing
activities  for the year ended  December  31, 1996  totalled  $3.1  million,  an
increase of $3.3 million from  December  31,  1995.  The increase was  primarily
attributable  to our  use of $2.2  million  in cash  to  fund  the  purchase  of
certificates  of  deposits,  $546,000  in  cash  to fund  the  increase  in loan
originations and $448,000 to construct and equip the Shaler Township office.

         Net cash provided by our financing activities (i.e., cash receipts from
our net increases in deposits)  totaled $4.5 million and $3.9  million,  for the
nine months  ended  September  30, 1997 and the year ended  December  31,  1996,
respectively.

                        BUSINESS OF SFSB HOLDING COMPANY

         SFSB is not an operating company and has not engaged in any significant
business  to date.  It was  formed in October  1997 as a  Pennsylvania-chartered
corporation  to be the holding  company for Stanton  Federal  Savings Bank.  The
holding  company  structure  and  retention  of proceeds  will  facilitate:  (i)
diversification  into  non-banking   activities,   (ii)  acquisitions  of  other
financial  institutions,  such as savings  institutions,  (iii) expansion within
existing and into new market areas and (iv) stock  repurchases  without  adverse
tax  consequences.   There  are  no  present  plans  regarding  diversification,
acquisitions, expansion, or repurchases.

         Since SFSB will own only one savings  bank,  it  generally  will not be
restricted in the types of business activities in which it may engage,  provided
that we retain a specified amount of our assets in housing-related  investments.
SFSB  initially  will not  conduct  any active  business  and does not intend to
employ any persons  other than  officers but will utilize our support staff from
time to time.

         The  office  of  the  SFSB  is  located  at  900  Saxonburg  Boulevard,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The telephone number is (412) 487-4200.

                    BUSINESS OF STANTON FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK

         The  principal  sources of funds for our  activities  are  deposits and
payments  on loans and  investments.  Our  deposits  totalled  $33.9  million at
September 30, 1997.  Funds are used primarily for the  origination of fixed rate
loans secured by mortgages on one- to four-family  residences  which are located
in our  market  area and the  purchase  of  investment  securities.  Such  loans
totalled  $10.5  million,  or 89%, of our total loans  receivable  portfolio  at
September  30, 1997.  Our  principal  source of revenue is interest  received on
loans and investments and our principal expense is interest paid on deposits.

Market Area

         Our main office is located in Shaler  Township,  a suburb of Pittsburgh
and our branch office is located in the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh. The
communities of Shaler Township, Lawrenceville and surrounding areas of Allegheny
County are  considered to be our primary  market area.  Most of our deposits and
lending activity is generated from individuals who live in these areas. We are a
community-  oriented  institution  and have  served the local  Allegheny  County
community since 1890.  Until September 1996, we operated from our  Lawrenceville
office where there was limited growth opportunities for loan

                                       37

originations  and  deposit  needs.  We moved to our new main  office  in  Shaler
Township in September 1996. Since the opening of the Shaler Township office,  we
have generated a significant amount of deposits.

   
         The population in our primary market area has decreased by 15% over the
fifteen year period  ending 1995 and is  projected to decrease  through the year
2000.  In  addition,  over the last five  years,  total  deposits  at  financial
institutions (i.e., banks and thrifts) in the communities of Shaler Township and
Lawrenceville have decreased 3% and 4.35%,  respectively.  However,  compared to
other financial  institutions in our Lawrenceville market area, at June 30, 1996
(the latest available data from the Federal Deposit Insurance  Corporation),  we
had a 6.54% market share. In addition, over the last four years, we had an 8.20%
increase in  deposits.  Since we did not open our Shaler  Township  office until
September  1996,  we  have no  current  available  data  comparing  us to  other
financial  institutions  in this  market  area.  We  believe  that the  economic
vitality of these  communities  depend on the  economic  vitality of the city of
Pittsburgh, which has been relatively stable in recent years.

         The Greater  Pittsburgh  area has been in the process of  restructuring
over the past decade. Once centered on heavy manufacturing, primarily steel, its
economic base is now more  diverse,  including  technology,  health and business
services.  Several  "Fortune  500"  industrial  firms are  headquartered  in the
Greater  Pittsburgh area,  including USX Corporation.  The largest  employers in
Pittsburgh,  by the  number  of  local  employees,  include  the  United  States
Government,  the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,  USAir,  University of Pittsburgh
Medical   Center,   and  the  University  of  Pittsburgh.   Seven  colleges  and
universities are located in the general Pittsburgh area.
    

Lending Activities

         Most of our loans are  mortgage  loans  which  are  secured  by one- to
four-family residences. We also make home equity, multi-family,  commercial real
estate and consumer loans.  Loans  originated by us  historically  have rates of
interest which are fixed for the term of the loan ("fixed rate"). In the future,
we  anticipate  that any home equity lines of credit and business  loans will be
offered at adjustable rates of interest.

         One- to Four-Family  Residential  Loans.  Our primary lending  activity
consists  of the  origination  of one- to  four-family  fixed  rate  residential
mortgage  loans  secured by property  located in our  primary  market  area.  We
generally originate one- to four-family fixed rate residential mortgage loans in
amounts up to 97% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase  price,  with
private  mortgage  insurance  required  on loans with a  loan-to-value  ratio in
excess of 80%.  The maximum  loan-to-value  ratio on mortgage  loans  secured by
non-owner occupied properties  generally is limited to 70%. We retain all of our
mortgage loans and originate these loans with maturities of up to 30 years.

                                       39

<PAGE>




         Mortgage loans originated and held by us generally include  due-on-sale
clauses. This gives us the right to deem the loan immediately due and payable in
the event the borrower transfers ownership of the property securing the mortgage
loan without our consent.

         Home Equity Loans,  Second Mortgages and Other Loans. We originate home
equity loans and second  mortgage  loans which are secured by one to four-family
residences.  We originate  these loans on one- to  four-family  residences  with
fixed rate  terms of up to 15 years.  The loans are  generally  subject to a 80%
combined loan-to-value limitation,  including any other outstanding mortgages or
liens. We anticipate  offering adjustable rate home equity lines of credit loans
and commercial business loans within the next year.

         Commercial  Real Estate  Loans.  Our  commercial  real estate loans are
secured  by  office  buildings,  retail  establishments,  and  other  commercial
properties.  These  loans  generally  have not  exceeded  $400,000  or had terms
greater than 20 years.

         Commercial real estate lending  entails  significant  additional  risks
compared to residential  property  lending.  These loans typically involve large
loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.  The repayment
of these loans  typically is dependent on the  successful  operation of the real
estate project securing the loan.  These risks can be significantly  affected by
supply and demand  conditions  in the market for office and retail space and may
also be subject to adverse conditions in the economy.

         Loan Approval Authority and Underwriting.  We establish various lending
limits  for  our  officers  and  maintain  a loan  committee  consisting  of the
President,  the  Secretary  and two  outside  board  members.  Ms.  Mallen,  our
President,  and Mr. Gallagher,  our Senior Vice President have loan authority to
approve  home equity  loans up to $75,000  and  unsecured  consumer  loans up to
$10,000.  The loan  committee  ratifies all  residential  mortgage loans and all
other real estate and consumer loans.

         Upon  receipt  of a  completed  loan  application  from  a  prospective
borrower,  a credit report is ordered.  Income and certain other  information is
verified. If necessary,  additional financial  information may be requested.  An
appraisal or other  estimate of value of the real estate  intended to be used as
security  for the  proposed  loan  is  obtained.  Appraisals  are  processed  by
independent fee appraisers.

         Title  insurance  is  generally  required on all real  estate  mortgage
loans.  We do not  require  title  insurance  on home  equity  loans and  second
mortgages,  but we obtain a property  report from Select  Business  Services,  a
division of the Credit Bureau,  which  indicates  whether there are any liens or
other  encumbrances  against the property.  Borrowers  also must obtain fire and
casualty  insurance.  Flood  insurance  is also  required  on loans  secured  by
property that is located in a flood zone.

         Loan  Commitments.   Written   commitments  are  given  to  prospective
borrowers on all approved real estate loans. Generally,  the commitment requires
acceptance  within  10 days of the date of  issuance.  At  September  30,  1997,
commitments  to cover  originations  of mortgage  loans  totalled  $460,000.  We
believe that virtually all of our commitments will be funded.

         Loans to One Borrower. The maximum amount of loans which we may make to
any one borrower may not exceed the greater of $500,000 or 15% of our unimpaired
capital and unimpaired  surplus. We may lend an additional 10% of our unimpaired
capital  and  unimpaired  surplus  if the  loan  is  fully  secured  by  readily
marketable collateral. Our maximum loan-to-one borrower limit has been $450,000.
At September  30, 1997,  the  aggregate  loans  outstanding  of our five largest
borrowers  have  outstanding  balances of between  $145,000 and $381,000.  These
loans are performing loans.

Nonperforming and Problem Assets

   
         Loan Delinquencies.  When a mortgage loan becomes ^ 20 days past due, a
notice of nonpayment  is sent to the borrower.  If^ such payment is not received
by month end, an additional notice of nonpayment is sent to the borrower.  After
60 days,  if payment is still  delinquent,  a notice of right to cure default is
sent to the borrower  giving 30 additional days to bring the loan current before
foreclosure is commenced.  If the loan  continues in a delinquent  status for 90
days past due and no repayment plan is in effect,  foreclosure  proceedings will
be initiated. The customer will be notified when foreclosure is commenced.
    

         Loans are reviewed on a monthly  basis and are placed on a  non-accrual
status  when the loan  becomes  more  than 90 days  delinquent  or when,  in our
opinion, the collection of additional interest is doubtful. Interest accrued and
unpaid at the time a loan is  placed on  nonaccrual  status is  charged  against
interest income. Subsequent interest payments, if any, are either applied to the
outstanding  principal balance or recorded as interest income,  depending on the
assessment of the ultimate collectibility of the loan.

   
         Nonperforming  Assets.  The  following  table  sets  forth  information
regarding nonaccrual loans and real estate owned, as of the dates indicated.  We
have no loans categorized as troubled debt restructurings  within the meaning of
SFAS 15 and no ^ impaired  loans  within the  meaning of SFAS 114, as amended by
SFAS 118.  Interest  income that would have been recorded on loans accounted for
on a nonaccrual  basis under the original terms of such loans was  approximately
$9,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

         Classified Assets. OTS regulations provide for a classification  system
for problem  assets of savings  associations  which  covers all problem  assets.
Under this classification system, problem assets of savings institutions such as
ours  are  classified  as  "substandard,"  "doubtful,"  or  "loss."  An asset is
considered  substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth
and paying  capacity  of the  borrower  or of the  collateral  pledged,  if any.
Substandard  assets include those  characterized  by the "distinct  possibility"
that the savings  institution  will sustain "some loss" if the  deficiencies are
not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent
in  those  classified  substandard,  with  the  added  characteristic  that  the
weaknesses  present make  "collection  or  liquidation in full," on the basis of
currently  existing facts,  conditions,  and values,  "highly  questionable  and
improbable." Assets classified as loss are those considered  "uncollectible" and
of such little value that their  continuance as assets without the establishment
of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  Assets may be designated  "special
mention"  because  of  potential   weaknesses  that  do  not  currently  warrant
classification in one of the aforementioned categories.

         When  a  savings  association   classifies  problem  assets  as  either
substandard or doubtful,  it may establish general allowances for loan losses in
an amount  deemed  prudent by  management.  General  allowances  represent  loss
allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated
with lending activities,  but which, unlike specific  allowances,  have not been
allocated to particular problem assets.  When a savings  association  classifies
problem assets as loss, it is required either to establish a specific  allowance
for losses equal to 100% of that portion of the asset so classified or to charge
off such amount. A savings association's  determination as to the classification
of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by
the OTS,  which may order the  establishment  of additional  general or specific
loss  allowances.  A portion of general  loss  allowances  established  to cover
possible  losses related to assets  classified as substandard or doubtful may be
included in determining a savings  association's  regulatory  capital.  Specific
valuation  allowances  for loan losses  generally  do not qualify as  regulatory
capital.

   
         At  September  30,  1997,  we  had  $223,000  of  loans  classified  as
substandard.  These substandard loans are classified as nonperforming  loans. We
had no loans classified as doubtful or loss. See "--  Nonperforming  and Problem
Assets."
    

         Allowances  for Loan Losses.  A provision for loan losses is charged to
operations  based on management's  evaluation of the losses that may be incurred
in our loan portfolio. The evaluation,  including a review of all loans on which
full  collectibility  of interest and principal  may not be reasonably  assured,
considers:  (i) our past loan loss experience,  (ii) known and inherent risks in
our portfolio,  (iii) adverse  situations that may affect the borrower's ability
to repay, (iv) the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and (v) current
economic conditions.

         We monitor  our  allowance  for loan losses and make  additions  to the
allowance as economic conditions dictate. Although we maintain our allowance for
loan losses at a level that we consider  adequate for the inherent  risk of loss
in our  loan  portfolio,  future  losses  could  exceed  estimated  amounts  and
additional  provisions  for loan losses  could be  required.  In  addition,  our
determination  of the  amount of the  allowance  for loan  losses is  subject to
review by the OTS,  as part of its  examination  process.  After a review of the
information available,  the OTS might require the establishment of an additional
allowance.  Any  increase in the loan loss  allowance  required by the OTS would
have a negative impact on our earnings.

         The following  table  illustrates  the  allocation of the allowance for
loan losses for each category of loan.  The  allocation of the allowance to each
category is not necessarily indicative of future loss in any particular category
and does not  restrict our use of the  allowance to absorb  losses in other loan
categories.

Investment Activities

         Investment  Securities.  We are required  under federal  regulations to
maintain a minimum  amount of liquid  assets  which may be invested in specified
short-term securities and certain other investments.  See "Regulation -- Savings
Institution  Regulation  -- Federal  Home Loan Bank  System"  and  "Management's
Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  --
Liquidity and Capital  Resources."  The level of liquid assets varies  depending
upon several factors, including: (i) the yields on investment alternatives, (ii)
our judgment as to the  attractiveness  of the yields then available in relation
to other  opportunities,  (iii) expectation of future yield levels, and (iv) our
projections as to the short-term demand for funds to be used in loan origination
and other  activities.  We classify our investment  securities as "available for
sale" or "held to maturity" in  accordance  with SFAS No. 115. At September  30,
1997, our investment  portfolio  policy allowed  investments in instruments such
as:  (i) U.S.  Treasury  obligations,  (ii) U.S.  federal  agency  or  federally
sponsored  agency   obligations,   (iii)  local  municipal   obligations,   (iv)
mortgage-backed  securities,  (v) banker's  acceptances,  (vi)  certificates  of
deposit,  (vii) federal funds,  including FHLB overnight and term deposits,  and
(viii)   investment  grade  corporate  bonds,   commercial  paper  and  mortgage
derivative products. See "-- Mortgage-backed Securities." The board of directors
may authorize additional investments.

         Mortgage-backed  Securities.  To supplement lending activities, we have
invested in residential mortgage-backed  securities.  Mortgage-backed securities
can serve as collateral for borrowings and, through  repayments,  as a source of
liquidity.  Mortgage-backed  securities represent a participation  interest in a
pool of  single-family  or  other  type of  mortgages.  Principal  and  interest
payments  are  passed  from the  mortgage  originators,  through  intermediaries
(generally   quasi-governmental   agencies)   that   pool  and   repackage   the
participation interests in the form of securities,  to investors such as us. The
quasi-governmental  agencies  guarantee the payment of principal and interest to
investors  and include the Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage  Corporation  ("FHLMC"),
Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), and Federal National Mortgage
Association ("FNMA.")

         Mortgage-backed  securities  typically are issued with stated principal
amounts.  The  securities  are backed by pools of mortgages that have loans with
interest  rates that are  within a set range and have  varying  maturities.  The
underlying  pool of mortgages can be composed of either fixed rate or adjustable
rate mortgage  loans.  Mortgage-backed  securities are generally  referred to as
mortgage participation certificates or pass-through  certificates.  The interest
rate risk  characteristics of the underlying pool of mortgages (i.e., fixed rate
or adjustable  rate) and the prepayment  risk, are passed on to the  certificate
holder. The life of a mortgage-backed pass-through security is equal to the life
of the underlying  mortgages.  Expected  maturities will differ from contractual
maturities due to scheduled  repayments and because borrowers may have the right
to  call  or  prepay   obligations   with  or  without   prepayment   penalties.
Mortgage-backed  securities  issued by FHLMC and GNMA make up a majority  of the
pass-through certificates market.

         Securities  Portfolio.  The  following  table sets  forth the  carrying
(i.e.,  amortized cost) value of our investment  securities held to maturity, at
the dates indicated.  Our securities  portfolio classified as available for sale
is carried at market value.

Sources of Funds

         Deposits are our major  external  source of funds for lending and other
investment  purposes.  Funds are also  derived  from the  receipt of payments on
loans and  prepayment  of loans and  maturities  of  investment  securities  and
mortgage-backed  securities  and,  to  a  much  lesser  extent,  borrowings  and
operations.  Scheduled loan principal  repayments are a relatively stable source
of  funds,   while  deposit  inflows  and  outflows  and  loan  prepayments  are
significantly influenced by general interest rates and market conditions.

         Deposits.  Consumer and commercial  deposits are attracted  principally
from within our  primary  market area  through  the  offering of a selection  of
deposit instruments  including regular savings accounts,  money market accounts,
and term certificate  accounts.  IRA accounts are also offered.  Deposit account
terms vary according to the minimum balance required,  the time period the funds
must remain on deposit, and the interest rate.

         The  interest  rates  paid  by us on  deposits  are set  weekly  at the
direction of our senior  management.  Interest rates are determined based on our
liquidity requirements,  interest rates paid by our competitors,  and our growth
goals and applicable regulatory restrictions and requirements.

         At  September  30, 1997,  we had no brokered  deposits and our deposits
were represented by the following types of savings programs.

         Borrowings.  Advances  (borrowing)  may be  obtained  from  the FHLB of
Pittsburgh to supplement our supply of lendable funds. Advances from the FHLB of
Pittsburgh  are  typically  secured  by a  pledge  of our  stock  in the FHLB of
Pittsburgh,  a portion of our first mortgage  loans and other assets.  Each FHLB
credit program has its own interest rate, which may be fixed or adjustable,  and
range  of  maturities.  We may  borrow  up to  $16.2  million  from  the FHLB of
Pittsburgh.  If the need  arises,  we may also access the Federal  Reserve  Bank
discount  window to supplement  our supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit
withdrawal  requirements.  At September 30, 1997, we had no borrowings  from the
FHLB of Pittsburgh.

Competition

         Competition   for   deposits   comes  from  other   insured   financial
institutions  such as commercial  banks,  thrift  institutions,  credit  unions,
finance  companies,   and  multi-state  regional  banks  in  our  market  areas.
Competition for funds also includes a number of insurance products sold by local
agents and investment products such as mutual funds and other securities sold by
local and  regional  brokers.  Loan  competition  varies  depending  upon market
conditions and comes from commercial banks, thrift  institutions,  credit unions
and mortgage bankers, most of whom have far greater resources than we have.

Properties

         We operate from our main office and one branch office.

         In addition,  we own property at 920 Saxonburg Boulevard which consists
of a single family dwelling that we rent for $650 per month. Upon termination of
our  lease,  we plan  to use  this  property  as a paved  parking  area  for our
customers  and  employees.  At  September  30,  1997,  the net book value of the
property  was  $65,000.  On November  14,  1997,  we  purchased  property at 922
Saxonburg  Boulevard  for  $66,000.  ^ This  property  was acquired for possible
future business needs.  However,  temporarily,  this property is being leased as
residential  real estate and is  included in  "premises  and  equipment"  on the
balance sheet of the financial  statements of Stanton  Federal Savings Bank. See
"Financial Statements of Stanton Federal Savings Bank."
    

Personnel

         At  September  30,  1997  we  had  12  full-time  and  three  part-time
employees.  None of our employees  are  represented  by a collective  bargaining
group. We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

Legal Proceedings

         We are, from time to time, a party to legal proceedings  arising in the
ordinary  course of our business,  including  legal  proceedings  to enforce our
rights against borrowers.  We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings
which  are  expected  to  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  financial
statements.

                                   REGULATION

         Set forth below is a brief  description of certain laws which relate to
us.  The  description  is not  complete  and is  qualified  in its  entirety  by
references to applicable laws and regulation.

Holding Company Regulation

         General.  SFSB will be required to register  and file  reports with the
OTS and will be subject to regulation  and  examination by the OTS. In addition,
the  OTS  will  have  enforcement   authority  over  SFSB  and  any  non-savings
institution  subsidiaries.  This will  permit the OTS to  restrict  or  prohibit
activities  that it  determines  to be a serious risk to us. This  regulation is
intended  primarily for the protection of our depositors and not for the benefit
of you, as stockholders of SFSB.

         QTL Test. Since SFSB will only own one savings institution,  it will be
able to diversify its operations  into  activities  not related to banking,  but
only so long as we satisfy the QTL test.  If SFSB controls more than one savings
institution,  it  would  lose the  ability  to  diversify  its  operations  into
non-banking related activities, unless such other savings institutions each also
qualify as a QTL or were acquired in a supervised  acquisition.  See "-- Savings
Institution Regulation -- Qualified Thrift Lender Test."

         Restrictions  on  Acquisitions.  SFSB must obtain approval from the OTS
before  acquiring  control of any other  SAIF-insured  savings  institution.  No
person may acquire control of a federally  insured savings  institution  without
providing  at least 60 days  written  notice  to the OTS and  giving  the OTS an
opportunity to disapprove the proposed acquisition.

Savings Institution Regulation

         General. As a federally chartered, SAIF-insured savings institution, we
are  subject  to  extensive  regulation  by the OTS and the  FDIC.  Our  lending
activities  and other  investments  must comply with  various  federal and state
statutory and regulatory  requirements.  We are also subject to certain  reserve
requirements promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
("Federal Reserve System").

         The OTS,  in  conjunction  with the  FDIC,  regularly  examines  us and
prepares  reports  for  the  consideration  of our  board  of  directors  on any
deficiencies  that the OTS finds in our operations.  Our  relationship  with our
depositors  and  borrowers  is also  regulated  to a great extent by federal and
state law,  especially in such matters as the ownership of savings  accounts and
the form and content of our mortgage documents.

         We  must  file  reports  with  the  OTS and  the  FDIC  concerning  our
activities  and  financial  condition,   in  addition  to  obtaining  regulatory
approvals  prior to entering into certain  transactions  such as mergers with or
acquisitions  of other financial  institutions.  This regulation and supervision
establishes a comprehensive  framework of activities in which an institution can
engage and is intended  primarily for the protection of the SAIF and depositors.
The  regulatory  structure  also  gives  the  regulatory  authorities  extensive
discretion in connection with their  supervisory and enforcement  activities and
examination  policies,  including policies with respect to the classification of
assets and the establishment of adequate loan loss

                                       50

reserves for regulatory purposes. Any change in regulations, whether by the OTS,
the FDIC or any other government agency, could have a material adverse impact on
our operations.

         Insurance  of Deposit  Accounts.  The FDIC is  authorized  to establish
separate annual  assessment  rates for deposit  insurance for members of the BIF
and the  SAIF.  The  FDIC may  increase  assessment  rates  for  either  fund if
necessary  to restore the fund's  ratio of  reserves to insured  deposits to its
target level within a reasonable time and may decrease such assessment  rates if
such target level has been met. The FDIC has established a risk-based assessment
system for both SAIF and BIF  members.  Under this system,  assessments  are set
within a range, based on the risk the institution poses to its deposit insurance
fund. This risk level is determined based on the institution's capital level and
the FDIC's level of supervisory concern about the institution.

         Because a significant  portion of the assessments paid into the SAIF by
savings  institutions  were  used to pay the cost of prior  savings  institution
failures, the reserves of the SAIF were below the level required by law. The BIF
had,  however,  met its required reserve level during the third calendar quarter
of 1995. As a result, deposit insurance premiums for deposits insured by the BIF
were  substantially  less than  premiums  for  deposits  such as ours  which are
insured by the SAIF.  Legislation  to  capitalize  the SAIF and to eliminate the
significant  premium  disparity  between the BIF and the SAIF  became  effective
September 30, 1996. The recapitalization  plan provided for a special assessment
equal to $.657 per $100 of SAIF deposits held at September 30, 1995, in order to
increase SAIF reserves to the level  required by law.  Certain BIF  institutions
holding  SAIF-insured  deposits were required to pay a lower special assessment.
Based  on our  deposits  at  September  30,  1995,  we  paid a  pre-tax  special
assessment of $161,000.

         The recapitalization plan also provides that the cost of prior failures
which were funded  through the issuance of Fico Bonds (bonds  issued to fund the
cost of savings  institution  failures in prior years) will be shared by members
of both the SAIF and the BIF.  This will  increase BIF  assessments  for healthy
banks to approximately  $.013 per $100 of deposits in 1997. SAIF assessments for
healthy  savings  institutions in 1997 will be  approximately  $.064 per $100 in
deposits  and may be  reduced,  but not  below the  level  set for  healthy  BIF
institutions.

         The FDIC has  lowered  the  rates on  assessments  paid to the SAIF and
widened  the  spread  of those  rates.  The  FDIC's  action  established  a base
assessment  schedule for the SAIF with rates  ranging from 4 to 31 basis points,
and an adjusted  assessment schedule that reduces these rates by 4 basis points.
As a result,  the  effective  SAIF rates  range from 0 to 27 basis  points as of
October 1, 1996. In addition, the FDIC's final rule prescribed a special interim
schedule of rates  ranging  from 18 to 27 basis points for  SAIF-member  savings
institutions  for the last quarter of calendar 1996, to reflect the  assessments
paid to the Financing Corp. (Fico Bonds). Finally, the FDIC's action established
a procedure  for making  limited  adjustments  to the base  assessment  rates by
rulemaking without notice and comment, for both the SAIF and the BIF.

         The recapitalization  plan also provides for the merger of the SAIF and
BIF effective January 1, 1999, assuming there are no savings  institutions under
federal law. Under separate  proposed  legislation,  Congress is considering the
elimination  of the federal  thrift  charter  and  elimination  of the  separate
federal  regulation  of  thrifts.  As a result,  we might  have to  convert to a
different financial  institution charter and be regulated under federal law as a
bank,  including  being  subject to the more  restrictive  activity  limitations
imposed on national banks. We cannot predict the impact of our conversion to, or
regulation as, a bank until the legislation requiring such change is enacted.

         Regulatory  Capital  Requirements.   OTS  capital  regulations  require
savings institutions to meet three capital standards: (1) tangible capital equal
to 1.5% of total adjusted assets, (2) core capital equal

                                       51

<PAGE>



to at least 3% of total adjusted assets,  and (3) risk-based capital equal to 8%
of  total  risk-weighted   assets.  Our  capital  ratios  are  set  forth  under
"Historical and Pro Forma Capital Compliance."

         Tangible capital is defined as core capital less all intangible  assets
(including  supervisory  goodwill),  less certain mortgage  servicing rights and
less certain investments. Core capital is defined as common stockholders' equity
(including  retained  earnings),  noncumulative  perpetual  preferred  stock and
minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries,  certain
nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits of mutual savings associations and
qualifying supervisory goodwill,  less nonqualifying  intangible assets, certain
mortgage servicing rights and certain investments.

         The risk-based capital standard for savings  institutions  requires the
maintenance of total  risk-based  capital (which is defined as core capital plus
supplementary  capital)  of  8%  of  risk-weighted  assets.  The  components  of
supplementary capital include, among other items, cumulative perpetual preferred
stock,  perpetual  subordinated debt, mandatory  convertible  subordinated debt,
intermediate-term  preferred  stock,  and the portion of the  allowance for loan
losses not designated for specific loan losses. The portion of the allowance for
loan and lease  losses  includable  in  supplementary  capital  is  limited to a
maximum of 1.25% of  risk-weighted  assets.  Overall,  supplementary  capital is
limited  to 100% of core  capital.  A savings  association  must  calculate  its
risk-weighted  assets by multiplying  each asset and  off-balance  sheet item by
various risk factors as determined  by the OTS,  which range from 0% for cash to
100% for delinquent  loans,  property acquired through  foreclosure,  commercial
loans, and other assets.

         The risk-based  capital  standards of the OTS generally require savings
institutions  with more than a "normal"  level of interest rate risk to maintain
additional total capital.  An institution's  interest rate risk will be measured
in terms of the sensitivity of its "net portfolio  value" to changes in interest
rates.  Net  portfolio  value is defined,  generally,  as the  present  value of
expected cash inflows from existing assets and off-balance  sheet contracts less
the present value of expected cash outflows from existing liabilities. A savings
institution  will be considered  to have a "normal"  level of interest rate risk
exposure if the decline in its net portfolio  value after an immediate 200 basis
point increase or decrease in market  interest rates  (whichever  results in the
greater  decline)  is less than two percent of the  current  estimated  economic
value of its assets.  An  institution  with a greater than normal  interest rate
risk will be required to deduct from total capital,  for purposes of calculating
its  risk-based  capital  requirement,   an  amount  (the  "interest  rate  risk
component") equal to one-half the difference between the institution's  measured
interest rate risk and the normal level of interest rate risk, multiplied by the
economic value of its total assets.

         The OTS calculates the  sensitivity of an  institution's  net portfolio
value based on data submitted by the  institution in a schedule to its quarterly
Thrift  Financial  Report and using the  interest  rate risk  measurement  model
adopted by the OTS. The amount of the interest rate risk  component,  if any, to
be  deducted  from  an  institution's   total  capital  will  be  based  on  the
institution's  Thrift  Financial  Report  filed two  quarters  earlier.  Savings
institutions  with less than $300  million  in assets and a  risk-based  capital
ratio above 12% are generally exempt from filing the interest rate risk schedule
with their Thrift  Financial  Reports.  However,  the OTS may require any exempt
institution  that it  determines  may have a high  level of  interest  rate risk
exposure to file such  schedule  on a  quarterly  basis and may be subject to an
additional  capital  requirement  based upon its level of interest  rate risk as
compared  to its  peers.  However,  due to our net size and  risk-based  capital
level, we are exempt from the interest rate risk component.

         Dividend and Other Capital  Distribution  Limitations.  OTS regulations
require us to give the OTS 30 days advance notice of any proposed declaration of
dividends to SFSB, and the OTS has the authority under its supervisory powers to
prohibit the payment of dividends by us to SFSB. In addition, we may not declare
or pay a cash dividend on our capital stock if the effect would be to reduce our
regulatory

                                       52

<PAGE>



capital below the amount required for the liquidation  account to be established
at the time of the  conversion.  See "The Conversion -- Effects of Conversion to
Stock Form on  Depositors  and  Borrowers  of Stanton  Federal  Savings  Bank --
Liquidation Account."

         OTS regulations  impose  limitations upon all capital  distributions by
savings  institutions,  such  as  cash  dividends,  payments  to  repurchase  or
otherwise acquire its shares, payments to stockholders of another institution in
a cash-out merger,  and other  distributions  charged against capital.  The rule
establishes  three tiers of  institutions  based  primarily on an  institution's
capital  level.  An  institution  that  exceeds  all  fully  phased-in   capital
requirements  before  and  after  a  proposed  capital   distribution  ("Tier  1
institution")  and has not  been  advised  by the OTS that it is in need of more
than the normal  supervision can, after prior notice but without the approval of
the OTS, make capital  distributions during a calendar year equal to the greater
of (i) 100% of its net income to date during the  calendar  year plus the amount
that would reduce by one-half its "surplus  capital  ratio" (the excess  capital
over its fully phased-in capital  requirements) at the beginning of the calendar
year,  or (ii) 75% of its net income over the most recent four  quarter  period.
Any additional  capital  distributions  require prior regulatory  notice.  As of
September 30, 1997, we qualified as a Tier 1 institution.

         In the event our capital falls below our fully phased-in requirement or
the OTS  notifies  us that we are in need of more than  normal  supervision,  we
would become a Tier 2 or Tier 3 institution and as a result, our ability to make
capital  distributions  could be  restricted.  Tier 2  institutions,  which  are
institutions that before and after the proposed  distribution meet their current
minimum capital  requirements,  may only make capital distributions of up to 75%
of net income over the most recent four  quarter  period.  Tier 3  institutions,
which are institutions that do not meet current minimum capital requirements and
propose to make any capital  distribution,  and Tier 2 institutions that propose
to make a capital  distribution  in excess of the noted safe harbor level,  must
obtain OTS approval  prior to making such  distribution.  In  addition,  the OTS
could prohibit a proposed capital  distribution by any institution,  which would
otherwise  be  permitted  by the  regulation,  if the OTS  determines  that such
distribution  would  constitute  an  unsafe  or  unsound  practice.  The OTS has
proposed  rules  relaxing   certain   approval  and  notice   requirements   for
well-capitalized institutions.

         A savings institution is prohibited from making a capital  distribution
if,  after  making  the   distribution,   the  savings   institution   would  be
undercapitalized  (i.e.,  not meet  any one of its  minimum  regulatory  capital
requirements).  Further,  a savings  institution  cannot  distribute  regulatory
capital that is needed for its liquidation account.

         Qualified  Thrift  Lender  Test.  Savings   institutions  must  meet  a
qualified  thrift lender  ("QTL") test. If we maintain an  appropriate  level of
qualified  thrift  investments  ("QTIs")  (primarily  residential  mortgages and
related  investments,   including  certain   mortgage-related   securities)  and
otherwise qualify as a QTL, we will continue to enjoy full borrowing  privileges
from the FHLB of Pittsburgh. The required percentage of QTIs is 65% of portfolio
assets  (defined as all assets minus  intangible  assets,  property  used by the
institution  in conducting  its business and liquid assets equal to 10% of total
assets).  Certain  assets  are  subject  to a  percentage  limitation  of 20% of
portfolio assets. In addition,  savings institutions may include shares of stock
of the  FHLBs,  FNMA,  and  FHLMC  as  QTIs.  Compliance  with  the QTL  test is
determined  on a monthly  basis in nine out of every 12 months.  As of September
30, 1997,  we were in compliance  with our QTL  requirement  with  approximately
69.22% of our assets invested in QTIs.

         Transactions With Affiliates.  Generally,  restrictions on transactions
with affiliates require that transactions  between a savings  institution or its
subsidiaries  and  its  affiliates  be on  terms  as  favorable  to the  savings
institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. In addition, certain
of these  transactions are restricted to an aggregate  percentage of the savings
institution's capital. Collateral in specified amounts

                                       53

<PAGE>



must  usually be  provided  by  affiliates  in order to  receive  loans from the
savings institution.  Our affiliates include SFSB and any company which would be
under common control with us. In addition,  a savings institution may not extend
credit to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding
company or acquire the securities of any affiliate that is not a subsidiary. The
OTS  has  the  discretion  to  treat  subsidiaries  of  savings  institution  as
affiliates on a case-by-case basis.

         Liquidity  Requirements.  All  savings  institutions  are  required  to
maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to a certain percentage
of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and
borrowings payable in one year or less. The liquidity  requirement may vary from
time to time (between 4% and 10%) depending upon economic conditions and savings
flows of all savings  institutions.  At September 30, 1997, our required  liquid
asset ratio was 5.0% and our actual ratio was 25.40%.  Monetary penalties may be
imposed upon institutions for violations of liquidity requirements.

         Federal Home Loan  Savings Bank System.  We are a member of the FHLB of
Pittsburgh,  which is one of 12 regional FHLBs. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or
central bank for its members within its assigned region.  It is funded primarily
from funds deposited by savings  institutions and proceeds derived from the sale
of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans to members (i.e.,
advances) in accordance with policies and procedures established by the board of
directors of the FHLB.

         As a member, we are required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB
of  Pittsburgh  in an  amount  equal  to at  least  1% of our  aggregate  unpaid
residential  mortgage loans, home purchase  contracts or similar  obligations at
the  beginning  of each year.  At September  30,  1997,  we had $171,000 in FHLB
stock, at cost, which was in compliance with this requirement.  The FHLB imposes
various  limitations on advances such as limiting the amount of certain types of
real estate related  collateral to 30% of a member's  capital and limiting total
advances to a member.

         The FHLBs are required to provide funds for the  resolution of troubled
savings  institutions  and to contribute to affordable  housing programs through
direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community investment
and  low-  and  moderate-income  housing  projects.   These  contributions  have
adversely  affected the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to do so
in the future.

         Federal  Reserve  System.  The  Federal  Reserve  System  requires  all
depository  institutions to maintain  non-interest bearing reserves at specified
levels against their transaction accounts (primarily checking, NOW and Super NOW
checking  accounts) and non-personal time deposits.  The balances  maintained to
meet the reserve  requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve System may be used
to satisfy the liquidity  requirements that are imposed by the OTS. At September
30,  1997,  our reserve met the minimum  level  required by the Federal  Reserve
System.

         Savings  institutions have authority to borrow from the Federal Reserve
System "discount  window," but Federal Reserve System policy generally  requires
savings  institutions  to exhaust all other sources  before  borrowing  from the
Federal Reserve System.  We had no borrowings from the Federal Reserve System at
September 30, 1997.

                                    TAXATION

Federal Taxation

         We are subject to the provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended  (the  "Code"),  in the same  general  manner as other  corporations.
However,  prior to  August  1996,  savings  institutions  such as us,  which met
certain  definitional  tests and other  conditions  prescribed by the Code could
benefit

                                       54

<PAGE>



from certain favorable provisions regarding their deductions from taxable income
for  annual  additions  to their bad debt  reserve.  The  amount of the bad debt
deduction  that a  qualifying  savings  institution  could claim with respect to
additions  to its reserve for bad debts was subject to certain  limitations.  We
reviewed the most  favorable way to calculate the deduction  attributable  to an
addition to our bad debt reserve on an annual basis.

         In August  1996,  the Code was  revised to  equalize  the  taxation  of
thrifts  and banks.  Thrifts,  such as us, no longer  have a choice  between the
percentage of taxable  income method and the  experience  method in  determining
additions to bad debt reserves.  Thrifts with $500 million of assets or less may
still use the  experience  method,  which is generally  available to small banks
currently.  Larger thrifts must use the specific charge off method regarding bad
debts. Any reserve amounts added after 1987 will be taxed over a six year period
beginning  in 1996;  however,  bad debt  reserves  set  aside  through  1987 are
generally not taxed. A savings institution may delay recapturing into income its
post-1987  bad  debt  reserves  for  an  additional  two  years  if it  meets  a
residential-lending test. At September 30, 1997, we had excess bad debt reserves
of  approximately  $85,000  which will create a tax  recapture of  approximately
$29,000.

         Under the percentage of taxable  income method,  the bad debt deduction
attributable to "qualifying real property loans" could not exceed the greater of
(i) the amount deductible under the experience method, or (ii) the amount which,
when added to the bad debt  deduction  for  non-qualifying  loans,  equaled  the
amount by which 12% of the sum of the total deposits and the advance payments by
borrowers  for taxes and  insurance at the end of the taxable year  exceeded the
sum of the  surplus,  undivided  profits and  reserves at the  beginning  of the
taxable year.  The amount of the bad debt deduction  attributable  to qualifying
real property  loans  computed using the percentage of taxable income method was
permitted  only to the  extent  that the  institution's  reserve  for  losses on
qualifying  real property  loans at the close of the taxable year did not exceed
6% of such loans outstanding at such time.

         Under the experience method, the bad debt deduction may be based on (i)
a six-year  moving  average of actual  losses on qualifying  and  non-qualifying
loans, or (ii) a fill-up to the institution's base year reserve amount, which is
the tax bad debt reserve determined as of December 31, 1987.

         The  percentage of specially  computed  taxable income that was used to
compute a savings  institution's bad debt reserve deduction under the percentage
of taxable  income  method (the  "percentage  bad debt  deduction")  was 8%. The
percentage of taxable income bad debt deduction thus computed was reduced by the
amount  permitted as a deduction for  non-qualifying  loans under the experience
method.  The  availability of the percentage of taxable income method  permitted
qualifying savings  institutions to be taxed at a lower effective federal income
tax rate than that applicable to corporations  (generally,  approximately 31.3%,
assuming the maximum percentage bad debt deduction).

         If a savings institution's qualifying assets (generally,  loans secured
by  residential  real estate or deposits,  educational  loans,  cash and certain
government  obligations)  constitute  less  than 60% of its  total  assets,  the
institution may not deduct any addition to a bad debt reserve and generally must
include  existing  reserves  in  income  over  a  four  year  period,  which  is
immediately  accruable for  financial  reporting  purposes.  As of September 30,
1997, at least 60% of our assets were qualifying  assets as defined in the Code.
No assurance can be given that we will meet the 60% test for subsequent  taxable
years.

         Earnings  appropriated  to our bad debt  reserve  and  claimed as a tax
deduction  including our supplemental  reserves for losses will not be available
for the payment of cash dividends or for  distribution to you, our  stockholders
(including distributions made on dissolution or liquidation),  unless we include
the  amount  in  income,  along  with the  amount  deemed  necessary  to pay the
resulting  federal  income tax. As of September 30, 1997,  we had  approximately
$975,000 of accumulated earnings, representing our

                                       55

<PAGE>



base year tax reserve, for which federal income taxes have not been provided. If
such  amount is used for any  purpose  other than bad debt  losses,  including a
dividend  distribution or a distribution  in liquidation,  it will be subject to
federal income tax at the then current rate.

         Generally,  for  taxable  years  beginning  after  1986,  the Code also
requires  most  corporations,  including  savings  institutions,  to utilize the
accrual method of accounting for tax purposes. Further, for taxable years ending
after 1986, the Code disallows 100% of a savings institution's  interest expense
deemed  allocated to certain  tax-exempt  obligations  acquired  after August 7,
1986.  Interest expense allocable to (i) tax-exempt  obligations  acquired after
August  7,  1986  which  are not  subject  to this  rule,  and  (ii)  tax-exempt
obligations issued after 1982 but before August 8, 1986, are subject to the rule
which  applied prior to the Code  disallowing  the  deductibility  of 20% of the
interest expense.

         The Code imposes a tax ("AMT") on  alternative  minimum  taxable income
("AMTI")  at a rate of 20%.  AMTI is  increased  by  certain  preference  items,
including the excess of the tax bad debt reserve  deduction using the percentage
of taxable income method over the deduction that would have been allowable under
the  experience  method.  Only 90% of AMTI can be offset by net  operating  loss
carryovers of which we currently have none. AMTI is also adjusted by determining
the tax  treatment  of certain  items in a manner that  negates the  deferral of
income  resulting from the regular tax treatment of those items.  Thus, our AMTI
is  increased  by an amount  equal to 75% of the  amount  by which our  adjusted
current earnings exceeds our AMTI (determined  without regard to this adjustment
and prior to reduction for net operating losses). In addition, for taxable years
beginning  after December 31, 1986 and before January 1, 1996, an  environmental
tax of 0.12% of the excess of AMTI (with certain  modifications) over $2 million
is imposed on  corporations,  including us, whether or not an AMT is paid. Under
pending  legislation,  the AMT rate would be reduced to zero for  taxable  years
beginning  after December 31, 1994,  but this rate reduction  would be suspended
for taxable years beginning in 1995 and 1996 and the suspended  amounts would be
refunded as tax credits in subsequent years.

         SFSB may exclude from its income 100% of dividends  received from us as
a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.  A 70% dividends received
deduction generally applies with respect to dividends received from corporations
that are not members of such  affiliated  group,  except  that an 80%  dividends
received  deduction  applies  if SFSB  owns  more  than  20% of the  stock  of a
corporation paying a dividend.  The above exclusion amounts,  with the exception
of the  affiliated  group  figure,  were  reduced  in years in which we  availed
ourself of the percentage of taxable income bad debt deduction method.

         Our federal  income tax returns  have not been audited by the IRS since
our fiscal year ended December 31, 1991. As a result of the audit,  there was no
material effect to our financial statements.

State Taxation

         We  are  subject  to  the  Mutual  Thrift   Institutions   Tax  of  the
Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania  based on our financial net income  determined in
accordance   with  generally   accepted   accounting   principles  with  certain
adjustments.  Our tax rate under the Mutual  Thrift  Institutions  Tax is 11.5%.
Interest  on state and federal  obligations  is  excluded  from net  income.  An
allocable  portion of net interest  expense incurred to carry the obligations is
disallowed as a deduction. Three year carryforwards of losses are allowed.

         Upon  consummation  of the  conversion,  we will also be subject to the
Corporate  Net  Income  Tax and the  Capital  Stock Tax of the  Commonwealth  of
Pennsylvania.

                       MANAGEMENT OF SFSB HOLDING COMPANY

         SFSB board of directors  consists of the same  individuals who serve as
directors of Stanton  Federal  Savings Bank. The articles of  incorporation  and
bylaws of SFSB require that  directors be divided into four  classes,  as nearly
equal in number as  possible.  Each class of  directors  serves for a  four-year
period,  with  approximately  one-fourth of the directors elected each year. The
officers of SFSB will be elected  annually by the board and serve at the board's
discretion. Such officers are also officers of Stanton Federal Savings Bank. See
"Management of Stanton Federal Savings Bank."

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

         The board of directors  conducts its business  through  meetings of the
board and through  activities of its committees.  During the year ended December
31, 1996, the board of directors held 12 regular meetings.  No director attended
fewer than 75% of the total meetings of the board of directors and committees on
which such director served during the year ended December 31, 1996.

Director Compensation

         Each director is paid  quarterly and total  aggregate  fees paid to the
directors for the year ended  December 31, 1996 were $30,000.  Beginning July 1,
1997, directors' compensation was increased to a monthly fee of $650.

   
         Directors  Consultant  and  Retirement  Plan ("DRP").  Our DRP provides
retirement  benefits to our directors  based upon the number of years of service
to our board,  which must be at least 5 years.  If a director agrees to become a
consulting  director  to our board  upon  retirement,  he or she will  receive a
monthly payment of between $450 to $650 for 5 years or until death, whichever is
earlier.  Benefits under our DRP will begin upon a director's retirement. In the
event there is a change in control,  all directors  will be presumed to have not
less than 5 years of service and each  director  will receive a lump sum payment
equal to the present value of future benefits payable.

         Summary Compensation Table. The following table sets forth the cash and
non-cash  compensation  awarded to or earned by our chief  executive  officer at

     in connection with the construction of our Shaler Township office.

(2)  Consists of $6,000 in director fees.

         Employment Agreement. We have entered into an employment agreement with
our President,  Barbara J. Mallen. Ms. Mallen's base salary under the employment
agreement is $96,000.  The employment  agreement has a term of three years.  The
agreement is terminable by us for "just cause" as defined in the  agreement.  If
we terminate  Ms.  Mallen  without just cause,  Ms. Mallen will be entitled to a
continuation  of her salary from the date of  termination  through the remaining
term of the agreement.  The employment  agreement  contains a provision  stating
that in the event of the termination of employment in connection with any change
in control of us, Ms.  Mallen will be paid a lump sum amount equal to 2.99 times
her five year average  annual  taxable cash  compensation.  If such payments had
been made under the agreement as of September 30, 1997, such payments would have
equaled approximately $287,000. The aggregate payments that would have been made
to Ms. Mallen would be an expense to us, thereby reducing our net income and our
capital by that amount.  The agreement  may be renewed  annually by our board of
directors upon a determination  of satisfactory  performance  within the board's
sole  discretion.  If Ms.  Mallen shall become  disabled  during the term of the
agreement,  she shall continue to receive payment of 100% of the base salary for
a period of 12 months and 60% of such base salary for the remaining term of such
agreement.  Such payments  shall be reduced by any other  benefit  payments made
under other disability programs in effect for our employees.

   
         Supplemental   Executive   Retirement   Plan.  We  have  implemented  a
supplemental   executive  retirement  plan  ("SERP")  for  the  benefit  of  our
President,  Barbara J. Mallen. The SERP provides that Ms. Mallen may receive the
full income replacement percentage provided under our pension plan (67% of final
average  compensation  payable at age 62 rather  than at age 65),  provided  she
remains  employed  until she  becomes  58 years old,  in the year 2000.  In such
event,  she will be eligible to receive a supplemental  retirement  benefit that
will have the effect of reducing the early retirement discount payable under our
pension plan from a reduction of 7% for each year that benefits  commence  prior
to age 65 to a reduction of  approximately  3% per year for retirement  prior to
age 62, but after age 58. Upon a termination of employment following a change in
control,  Ms. Mallen will be presumed to have attained not less than the minimum
retirement  age under  the SERP.  Payments  under the SERP will be  accrued  for
financial  reporting purposes during the period of employment of Ms. Mallen. The
SERP shall be unfunded.  All benefits  payable  under the SERP will be paid from
our current  assets.  There are no tax  consequences  to either Ms. Mallen or us
related to the SERP prior to payment of benefits. Upon receipt
    

                                       59

of payment of benefits, Ms. Mallen will recognize taxable ordinary income in the
amount  of such  payments  received  and we  will be  entitled  to  recognize  a
tax-deductible compensation expense at that time.
    

         Employee Stock  Ownership  Plan. We have  established an employee stock
ownership plan, the ESOP, for the exclusive  benefit of participating  employees
of ours, to be implemented upon the completion of the conversion.  Participating
employees are  employees  who have  completed one year of service with us or our
subsidiary  and have  attained  the age of 21.  An  application  for a letter of
determination  as to the  tax-qualified  status of the ESOP will be submitted to
the IRS.  Although  no  assurances  can be given,  we expect  that the ESOP will
receive a favorable letter of determination from the IRS.

         The ESOP is to be funded by contributions  made by us in cash or common
stock.  Benefits may be paid either in shares of the common stock or in cash. In
accordance  with the Plan, the ESOP may borrow funds with which to acquire up to
8% of the  common  stock to be issued in the  conversion.  The ESOP  intends  to
borrow funds from SFSB. The loan is expected to be for a term of ten years at an
annual  interest  rate equal to the prime rate as  published  in The Wall Street
Journal. Presently it is anticipated that the ESOP will purchase up to 8% of the
common stock to be issued in the offering (i.e., $440,000, based on the midpoint
of the EVR).  The loan will be secured by the shares  purchased  and earnings of
ESOP assets. Shares purchased with such loan proceeds will be held in a suspense
account for allocation among  participants as the loan is repaid.  We anticipate
contributing  approximately  $44,000 annually (based on a $440,000  purchase) to
the ESOP to meet principal  obligations under the ESOP loan, as proposed.  It is
anticipated that all such  contributions  will be  tax-deductible.  We will also
make additional contributions,  as necessary to meet the interest obligations of
the ESOP loan.  This loan is expected  to be fully  repaid in  approximately  10
years.

         Shares  sold  above the  maximum of the EVR  (i.e.,  more than  727,375
shares) may be sold to the ESOP before satisfying  remaining  unfilled orders of
Eligible  Account  Holders  to fill  the  ESOP's  subscription  or the  ESOP may
purchase  some  or all of the  shares  covered  by its  subscription  after  the
conversion in the open market.

         Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account
will be allocated  among  participants on the basis of total  compensation.  All
participants  must be  employed  at least  1,000  hours in a plan year,  or have
terminated  employment  following death,  disability or retirement,  in order to
receive an allocation.  Participant  accounts under the plan shall become vested
following 5 years of service. Employment prior to the adoption of the ESOP shall
be credited  for the  purposes  of vesting.  Vesting  will be  accelerated  upon
retirement,  death,  disability,  our change in control,  or  termination of the
ESOP. Forfeitures will be reallocated to participants on the same basis as other
contributions  in the plan year.  Benefits  may be payable in the form of a lump
sum  upon  retirement,   death,  disability  or  separation  from  service.  Our
contributions to the ESOP are  discretionary  and may cause a reduction in other
forms of  compensation.  Therefore,  benefits  payable  under the ESOP cannot be
estimated.

         The board of directors has appointed non-employee directors to the ESOP
Committee to administer the ESOP and to serve as the initial ESOP Trustees.  The
board of  directors  or the  ESOP  Committee  may  instruct  the  ESOP  Trustees
regarding  investments of funds  contributed to the ESOP. The ESOP Trustees must
vote all allocated  shares held in the ESOP in accordance with the  instructions
of the  participating  employees.  Unallocated  shares and allocated  shares for
which no timely  direction  is  received  will be voted by the ESOP  Trustees as
directed  by the  board of  directors  or the  ESOP  Committee,  subject  to the
Trustees' fiduciary duties.

         Pension Plan. We sponsor a  tax-qualified  defined benefit pension plan
(the "Pension  Plan").  All our full-time  employees are eligible to participate
after one year of service and attainment of age 21.

                                       60

A qualifying  employee  becomes fully vested in the Pension Plan upon completion
of six years of qualifying service.  The Pension Plan is intended to comply with
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA").

         Our Pension Plan  provides for monthly  payments to each  participating
employee at normal retirement age (the later of age 65 or five years after entry
into the plan). Benefits payable at normal retirement are equal to 66.6% of your
average monthly compensation multiplied by your earned benefit percentage.  Such
earned benefit  percentage  equals your years of benefit  service divided by the
greater of your maximum  years of service until your normal  retirement  age, or
age 25. Such benefits payable at normal  retirement are reduced for participants
completing  less  than six  years  of  service  upon  retirement  at the  normal
retirement  age,  termination  of service prior to the normal  retirement age or
commencement of benefits prior to the normal retirement age.

         Benefits are paid for the life of the participant following retirement.
The Pension Plan also provides for payments in the event of death.  At September
30, 1997,  Ms.  Mallen had 36 years of credited  service under the Pension Plan.
Upon normal  retirement at age 65, Ms. Mallen would receive an annual benefit of
$69,000.

         Benefits  are  payable  in the form of  various  annuity  alternatives,
including a joint and survivor option. For the Pension Plan year ended September
30, 1997, the highest permissible annual benefit under the Internal Revenue Code
is  $125,000.  Benefits  under the  Pension  Plan are not  subject to offset for
Social Security benefits.

Proposed Future Stock Benefit Plans

         Stock  Option  Plan.  Our  board of  directors  intend to adopt a stock
option plan (the Option Plan) following the  conversion,  subject to approval by
SFSB's  stockholders,  at a  stockholders  meeting to be held no sooner than six
months after the conversion. The Option Plan would be in compliance with the OTS
regulations  in effect.  See "--  Restrictions  on Stock Benefit  Plans." If the
Option Plan is implemented  within one year after the conversion,  in accordance
with OTS regulations, a number of shares equal to 10% of the aggregate shares of
common stock to be issued in the offering  (i.e.,  55,000  shares based upon the
sale of  550,000  shares  at the  midpoint  of the EVR)  would be  reserved  for
issuance by SFSB upon  exercise of stock  options to be granted to our officers,
directors and employees  from time to time under the Option Plan. The purpose of
the  Option  Plan  would be to  provide  additional  performance  and  retention
incentives to certain  officers,  directors and employees by facilitating  their
purchase of a stock  interest  in SFSB.  Under the OTS  regulations,  the Option
Plan,  would  provide  that options  awarded  would vest over a five year period
(i.e., 20% per year),  beginning one year after the date of grant of the option.
Options would be granted based upon several factors,  including  seniority,  job
duties and  responsibilities,  job performance,  our financial performance and a
comparison of awards given by other savings institutions  converting from mutual
to stock form.

         SFSB would receive no monetary  consideration for the granting of stock
options  under the Option Plan. It would receive the option price for each share
issued to optionees upon the exercise of such options. Shares issued as a result
of the  exercise  of options  will be either  authorized  but  unissued  shares,
treasury shares, or shares purchased in the open market by SFSB. The exercise of
options and payment for the shares  received  would  contribute to the equity of
SFSB.

         If the  Option  Plan is  implemented  more  than  one  year  after  the
conversion,  the Option Plan will comply with OTS  regulations and policies that
are applicable at such time.


                                       61

         Restricted Stock Plan. Our board of directors  intends to adopt the RSP
following  the  conversion,  the  objective  of which is to  enable us to retain
personnel  and  directors  of  experience   and  ability  in  key  positions  of
responsibility.  SFSB expects to hold a stockholders' meeting no sooner than six
months after the  conversion  in order for  stockholders  to vote to approve the
RSP.  If the RSP is  implemented  within  one  year  after  the  conversion,  in
accordance  with  applicable OTS  regulations,  the shares granted under the RSP
will be in the form of  restricted  stock vesting over a five year period (i.e.,
20% per  year)  beginning  one  year  after  the  date of  grant  of the  award.
Compensation  expense in the amount of the fair market value of the common stock
granted will be  recognized  pro rata over the years during which the shares are
payable.  Until  they have  vested,  such  shares  may not be sold,  pledged  or
otherwise  disposed of and are required to be held in escrow.  Any shares not so
allocated  would be voted by the RSP Trustees.  The RSP will be  implemented  in
accordance  with  applicable  OTS  regulations.  See "--  Restrictions  on Stock
Benefit  Plans."  Awards  would  be  granted  based  upon a number  of  factors,
including  seniority,  job duties and  responsibilities,  job  performance,  our
performance  and a comparison of awards given by other  institutions  converting
from  mutual  to  stock  form.  The RSP  would  be  managed  by a  committee  of
non-employee  directors  (the "RSP  Trustees").  The RSP Trustees would have the
responsibility  to invest all funds  contributed  by us to the trust created for
the RSP (the "RSP Trust").

         We expect  to  contribute  sufficient  funds to the RSP so that the RSP
Trust can  purchase,  in the  aggregate,  up to 4% of the amount of common stock
that is  sold in the  conversion.  The  shares  purchased  by the RSP  would  be
authorized  but unissued  shares,  treasury  shares or would be purchased in the
open  market.  In the event the market price of the common stock is greater than
$10.00 per share, our contribution of funds will be increased.  Likewise, in the
event the market price is lower than $10.00 per share, our contribution  will be
decreased.  In recognition of their prior and expected  services to us and SFSB,
as the case may be, the officers,  other employees and directors responsible for
implementation  of the  policies  adopted  by the  board  of  directors  and our
profitable operation will, without cost to them, be awarded stock under the RSP.
Based upon the sale of 550,000  shares of common  stock in the  offering  at the
midpoint of the EVR,  the RSP Trust is expected to purchase up to 22,000  shares
of  common  stock.  If the RSP is  implemented  more  than  one year  after  the
conversion,  the RSP will comply with such OTS regulations and policies that are
applicable at such time.

         Restrictions on Stock Benefit Plans.  OTS  regulations  provide that in
the event stock option or  management  and/or  employee  stock benefit plans are
implemented within one year from the date of conversion,  such plans must comply
with the following  restrictions:  (1) the plans must be fully  disclosed in the
prospectus,  (2) for stock  option  plans,  the total number of shares for which
options  may  be  granted  may  not  exceed  10%  of the  shares  issued  in the
conversion,  (3) for restricted stock plans, the shares may not exceed 3% of the
shares  issued  in the  conversion  (4% for  institutions  with  10% or  greater
tangible  capital),  (4) the aggregate  amount of stock purchased by the ESOP in
the  conversion  may  not  exceed  10%  (8%  for  well-capitalized  institutions
utilizing a 4% restricted  stock plan),  (5) no individual  employee may receive
more than 25% of the  available  awards under the option plan or the  restricted
stock plans,  (6)  directors  who are not employees may not receive more than 5%
individually or 30% in the aggregate of the awards under any plan, (7) all plans
must be approved  by a majority  of the total  votes  eligible to be cast at any
duly  called  meeting of SFSB's  stockholders  held no  earlier  than six months
following the conversion, (8) for stock option plans, the exercise price must be
at least  equal to the market  price of the stock at the time of grant,  (9) for
restricted  stock plans, no stock issued in a conversion may be used to fund the
plan,  (10) neither  stock option  awards nor  restricted  stock awards may vest
earlier than 20% as of one year after the date of  stockholder  approval and 20%
per  year  thereafter,  and  vesting  may be  accelerated  only  in the  case of
disability or death (or if not  inconsistent  with applicable OTS regulations in
effect  at such  time,  in the  event of a change  in  control),  (11) the proxy
material  must clearly  state that the OTS in no way endorses or approves of the
plans, and (12) prior to implementing the plans, all plans

                                       62

<PAGE>



must be  submitted  to the  Regional  Director of the OTS within five days after
stockholder  approval  with a  certification  that  the  plans  approved  by the
stockholders  are the same plans that were filed with and disclosed in the proxy
materials relating to the meeting at which stockholder approval was received.

              RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITIONS OF SFSB HOLDING COMPANY

         While the board of  directors  is not aware of any effort that might be
made to obtain control of SFSB after conversion, the board of directors believes
that it is appropriate to include certain  provisions as part of SFSB's articles
of  incorporation  to protect the  interests of SFSB and its  stockholders  from
hostile takeovers ("anti-takeover"provisions) which the board of directors might
conclude  are  not in  the  best  interests  of us or  our  stockholders.  These
provisions may have the effect of discouraging a future  takeover  attempt which
is not approved by the board of directors but which individual  stockholders may
deem to be in their  best  interests  or in which  stockholders  may  receive  a
substantial  premium  for their  shares  over the current  market  prices.  As a
result,  stockholders  who might desire to participate in such a transaction may
not have an opportunity to do so. Such  provisions  will also render the removal
of the current board of directors or management of SFSB more difficult.

         The  following   discussion  is  a  general  summary  of  the  material
provisions  of  the  articles  of  incorporation,   bylaws,  and  certain  other
regulatory provisions of SFSB, which may be deemed to have such an anti-takeover
effect. The description of these provisions is necessarily general and reference
should be made in each case to the articles of incorporation  and bylaws of SFSB
which  are  filed as  exhibits  to the  registration  statement  of  which  this
prospectus is a part. See "Where You Can Find Additional  Information" as to how
to obtain a copy of these documents.

Provisions of SFSB Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

         Limitations on Voting  Rights.  The articles of  incorporation  of SFSB
provide that for a period of five years from completion of the conversion, in no
event  shall  any  record  owner of any  outstanding  equity  security  which is
beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a person who beneficially owns in
excess of 10% of any class of  equity  security  outstanding  (the  "Limit")  be
entitled or permitted to any vote in respect of the shares held in excess of the
Limit.  The  number  of  votes  which  may be  cast  by  any  record  owner  who
beneficially  owned shares in excess of the Limit shall be a number equal to the
total  number of votes which a single  record owner of all common stock owned by
such person would be entitled to cast,  multiplied by a fraction,  the numerator
of which  is the  number  of  shares  of such  class or  series  which  are both
beneficially  owned by such person and owned of record by such record  owner and
the  denominator  of which  is the  total  number  of  shares  of  common  stock
beneficially  owned by such  person  owning  shares in excess of the  Limit.  In
addition,  for a period of five years from the completion of our conversion,  no
person may  directly or  indirectly  offer to acquire or acquire the  beneficial
ownership of more than 10% of any class of an equity security of SFSB.

         The impact of these  provisions on the  submission of a proxy on behalf
of a beneficial  holder of more than 10% of the common stock is (1) to disregard
for  voting  purposes  and  require  divestiture  of the amount of stock held in
excess  of 10% (if  within  five  years of the  conversion  more than 10% of the
common stock is beneficially owned by a person) and (2) limit the vote on common
stock held by the beneficial owner to 10% or possibly reduce the amount that may
be  voted  below  the 10%  level  (if  more  than  10% of the  common  stock  is
beneficially  owned by a person  more than  five  years  after the  conversion).
Unless the grantor of a revocable  proxy is an affiliate or an associate of such
a 10% holder or there is an arrangement,  agreement or understanding with such a
10% holder, these provisions would not restrict the ability of such a 10% holder
of revocable  proxies to exercise  revocable proxies for which the 10% holder is
neither a  beneficial  nor record  owner.  A person is a  beneficial  owner of a
security if he has

                                       63

<PAGE>



the power to vote or direct the  voting of all or part of the  voting  rights of
the security,  or has the power to dispose of or direct the  disposition  of the
security.  The  articles of  incorporation  of SFSB  further  provide  that this
provision limiting voting rights may only be amended upon the vote of a majority
of the outstanding shares of voting stock.

         Election  of  Directors.  Certain  provisions  of  SFSB's  articles  of
incorporation and bylaws will impede changes in majority control of the board of
directors.  SFSB's articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors
of SFSB will be divided  into four  staggered  classes,  with  directors in each
class elected for four-year terms. Thus, it would take three annual elections to
replace a majority of SFSB's board.  SFSB's  articles of  incorporation  provide
that the size of the board of directors  may be  increased or decreased  only if
two-thirds of the directors  then in office concur in such action.  The articles
of  incorporation  also  provide  that any  vacancy  occurring  in the  board of
directors,  including  a  vacancy  created  by an  increase  in  the  number  of
directors, shall be filled for the remainder of the unexpired term by a majority
vote of the directors then in office. Finally, the articles of incorporation and
the bylaws impose certain notice and information requirements in connection with
the  nomination  by  stockholders  of  candidates  for  election to the board of
directors  or the  proposal by  stockholders  of business to be acted upon at an
annual meeting of stockholders.

         The  articles  of  incorporation  provide  that a director  may only be
removed for cause by the  affirmative  vote of at least a majority of the shares
of SFSB entitled to vote generally in an election of directors cast at a meeting
of stockholders called for that purpose.

         Restrictions on Call of Special Meetings. The articles of incorporation
of SFSB  provide  that a special  meeting  of  stockholders  may be called  only
pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the board of directors.

         Absence of Cumulative Voting.  SFSB's articles of incorporation provide
that stockholders may not cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

         Authorized  Shares.  The  articles  of  incorporation   authorizes  the
issuance of 4,000,000  shares of common stock and 1,000,000  shares of preferred
stock.  The shares of common stock and  preferred  stock were  authorized  in an
amount  greater than that to be issued in the conversion to provide SFSB's board
of  directors  with as much  flexibility  as  possible  to effect,  among  other
transactions,  financings,  acquisitions,  stock dividends, stock splits and the
exercise of stock options.  However, these additional authorized shares may also
be used by the board of directors  consistent  with its fiduciary  duty to deter
future  attempts to gain control of SFSB.  The board of directors  also has sole
authority to determine  the terms of any one or more series of Preferred  Stock,
including voting rights,  conversion  rates, and liquidation  preferences.  As a
result of the ability to fix voting rights for a series of Preferred  Stock, the
board has the power, to the extent  consistent with its fiduciary duty, to issue
a series of  Preferred  Stock to  persons  friendly  to  management  in order to
attempt to block a  post-tender  offer  merger or other  transaction  by which a
third party seeks control, and thereby assist management to retain its position.

         Procedures  for  Certain   Business   Combinations.   The  articles  of
incorporation  require the  affirmative  vote of at least 80% of the outstanding
shares of SFSB  entitled to vote in the  election of directors in order for SFSB
to engage in or enter into certain "Business  Combinations," as defined therein,
with any  Principal  Shareholder  (as defined  below) or any  affiliates  of the
Principal  Shareholder,  unless the proposed  transaction  has been  approved in
advance by SFSB's board of  directors,  excluding  those who were not  directors
prior to the time the Principal  Shareholder  became the Principal  Shareholder.
The term  "Principal  Shareholder"  is  defined  to  include  any person and the
affiliates and associates of the person (other than SFSB or its  subsidiary) who
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the

                                       64

<PAGE>



outstanding  shares of voting stock of SFSB.  Any  amendment  to this  provision
requires the affirmative  vote of at least 80% of the shares of SFSB entitled to
vote generally in an election of directors.

         Amendment to Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Amendments to SFSB's
articles of incorporation must be approved by SFSB's board of directors and also
by a  majority  of the  outstanding  shares of SFSB's  voting  stock,  provided,
however,  that  approval  by at least  80% of the  outstanding  voting  stock is
generally  required  for  certain  provisions  (i.e.,   provisions  relating  to
restrictions  on the  acquisition  and voting of greater  than 10% of the common
stock; number,  classification,  election and removal of directors; amendment of
bylaws;  call of  special  stockholder  meetings;  director  liability;  certain
business  combinations;  power of indemnification;  and amendments to provisions
relating to the foregoing in the articles of incorporation).

         The bylaws may be amended by a majority  vote of the board of directors
or the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the outstanding shares
of SFSB entitled to vote in the election of directors  cast at a meeting  called
for that purpose.

         Benefit  Plans.  In addition to the  provisions  of SFSB's  articles of
incorporation and bylaws described above,  certain benefit plans of ours adopted
in connection with the conversion  contain  provisions which also may discourage
hostile  takeover  attempts which the boards of directors might conclude are not
in the best  interests  for us or our  stockholders.  For a  description  of the
benefit plans and the  provisions of such plans  relating to changes in control,
see "Management of Stanton Federal Savings Bank -- Proposed Future Stock Benefit
Plans."

         Regulatory  Restrictions.  A federal  regulation  prohibits  any person
prior to the completion of a conversion from transferring,  or entering into any
agreement or understanding to transfer, the legal or beneficial ownership of the
subscription  rights issued under a plan of conversion or the stock to be issued
upon their  exercise.  This  regulation  also  prohibits any person prior to the
completion of a conversion from offering,  or making an announcement of an offer
or intent to make an offer, to purchase such  subscription  rights or stock. For
three years following conversion,  OTS regulations prohibit any person,  without
the prior approval of the OTS, from acquiring or making an offer to acquire more
than 10% of the stock of any converted savings institution if such person is, or
after  consummation of such  acquisition  would be, the beneficial owner of more
than 10% of such stock.  In the event that any person,  directly or  indirectly,
violates this regulation,  the securities  beneficially  owned by such person in
excess of 10% shall not be counted as shares  entitled  to vote and shall not be
voted by any person or counted as voting  shares in  connection  with any matter
submitted to a vote of stockholders.

         Federal  regulations  require  that,  prior to obtaining  control of an
insured institution, a person, other than a company, must give 60 days notice to
the OTS and have received no OTS objection to such acquisition of control, and a
company  must apply for and receive OTS  approval of the  acquisition.  Control,
involves a 25% voting  stock  test,  control in any manner of the  election of a
majority of the institution's  directors, or a determination by the OTS that the
acquiror  has the power to direct,  or  directly  or  indirectly  to  exercise a
controlling  influence  over,  the  management  or policies of the  institution.
Acquisition of more than 10% of an  institution's  voting stock, if the acquiror
also is subject to any one of either "control factors," constitutes a rebuttable
determination of control under the regulations. The determination of control may
be rebutted by submission to the OTS,  prior to the  acquisition of stock or the
occurrence of any other circumstances  giving rise to such  determination,  of a
statement  setting forth facts and  circumstances  which would support a finding
that no control relationship will exist and containing certain undertakings. The
regulations provide that persons or companies which acquire beneficial ownership
exceeding  10% or more of any class of a savings  association's  stock after the
effective date of the regulations  must file with the OTS a  certification  that
the holder is not in control of such institution, is not subject to a rebuttable

                                       65

<PAGE>



determination  of  control  and will  take no  action  which  would  result in a
determination or rebuttable  determination of control without prior notice to or
approval of the OTS, as applicable.

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

         SFSB is authorized to issue 4,000,000 shares of the common stock, $0.10
par value per share,  and 1,000,000  shares of serial  preferred  stock,  no par
value per share.  SFSB currently expects to issue up to 727,375 shares of common
stock in the  conversion.  SFSB does not  intend  to issue any  shares of serial
preferred stock in the conversion, nor are there any present plans to issue such
preferred stock following the conversion.  The aggregate par value of the issued
shares will  constitute the capital account of SFSB. The balance of the purchase
price will be recorded for accounting  purposes as additional  paid-in  capital.
See "Capitalization."  The capital stock of SFSB will represent  nonwithdrawable
capital and will not be insured by us, the FDIC, or any other government agency.

Common Stock

         Voting  Rights.  Each  share of the  common  stock  will  have the same
relative  rights and will be identical in all respects with every other share of
the common stock. The holders of the common stock will possess  exclusive voting
rights in SFSB,  except to the  extent  that  shares of serial  preferred  stock
issued in the future may have voting  rights,  if any. Each holder of the common
stock  will be  entitled  to only one vote for each  share held of record on all
matters  submitted  to a vote of  holders  of the  common  stock and will not be
permitted to cumulate their votes in the election of SFSB's directors.

         Liquidation.  In the  unlikely  event of the  complete  liquidation  or
dissolution of SFSB, the holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive
all assets of SFSB available for  distribution in cash or in kind, after payment
or  provision  for payment of (i) all debts and  liabilities  of SFSB;  (ii) any
accrued  dividend  claims;  and  (iii)  liquidation  preferences  of any  serial
preferred stock which may be issued in the future.

         Restrictions   on  Acquisition  of  the  Common  Stock.   See  "Certain
Restrictions  on  Acquisition  of SFSB" for a discussion of the  limitations  on
acquisition of shares of the common stock.

         Other  Characteristics.  Holders  of the  common  stock  will  not have
preemptive  rights with  respect to any  additional  shares of the common  stock
which may be  issued.  Therefore,  the  board of  directors  may sell  shares of
capital  stock  of  SFSB  without   first   offering  such  shares  to  existing
stockholders  of SFSB.  The common stock is not subject to call for  redemption,
and the outstanding  shares of common stock when issued and upon receipt by SFSB
of the full purchase price therefor will be fully paid and non-assessable.

         Issuance of Additional  Shares.  Except in the  Subscription and Public
Offerings  and  possibly  pursuant  to the RSP or Option  Plan,  the SFSB has no
present plans,  proposals,  arrangements or  understandings  to issue additional
authorized  shares of the  common  stock.  In the  future,  the  authorized  but
unissued and unreserved shares of the common stock will be available for general
corporate  purposes,  including,  but not limited to, possible issuance:  (i) as
stock dividends; (ii) in connection with mergers or acquisitions;  (iii) under a
cash dividend  reinvestment  or stock purchase plan; (iv) in a public or private
offering;  or (v) under employee  benefit  plans.  See "Risk Factors -- Possible
Dilutive  Effect of RSP and Stock  Options"  and "Pro Forma  Data."  Normally no
stockholder approval would be required for the issuance of these shares,  except
as described  herein or as otherwise  required to approve a transaction in which
additional authorized shares of the common stock are to be issued.

         For  additional   information,   see   "Dividends,"   "Regulation"  and
"Taxation" with respect to  restrictions on the payment of cash dividends;  "The

of shares purchased by directors and officers; and "Restrictions on Acquisitions
of SFSB Holding  Company" for  information  regarding  restrictions on acquiring
common stock of SFSB.

Serial Preferred Stock

         None of the 1,000,000  authorized  shares of serial  preferred stock of
SFSB will be issued in the  conversion.  After the conversion is completed,  the
board of directors of SFSB will be  authorized to issue serial  preferred  stock
and to fix and state voting powers,  designations,  preferences or other special
rights of such  shares  and the  qualifications,  limitations  and  restrictions
thereof, subject to regulatory approval but without stockholder approval. If and
when issued,  the serial  preferred  stock is likely to rank prior to the common
stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preferences, or both, and may have full
or limited voting rights. The board of directors,  without stockholder approval,
can issue serial  preferred stock with voting and conversion  rights which could
adversely  affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. The board
of  directors  has no present  intention  to issue any of the  serial  preferred
stock.

                              LEGAL AND TAX MATTERS

         The  legality  of the  common  stock  has  been  passed  upon for us by
Malizia, Spidi, Sloane & Fisch, P.C., Washington, D.C. Certain legal matters for
Ryan, Beck & Co., Inc. may be passed upon by Tucker Arensburg, P.C.. The federal
and state income tax consequences of the conversion have been passed upon for us
by Malizia, Spidi, Sloane & Fisch, P.C., Washington, D.C.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
                         ------------------------------



Board of Directors
Stanton Federal Savings Bank

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheet of Stanton Federal Savings Bank
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of income, retained
earnings,  and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial  statements
are the  responsibility  of the  Bank's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management as well as evaluating the overall financial  statement  presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the balance sheet of Stanton Federal Savings Bank, as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the results of their  operations and their cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.

As  discussed in the notes to the  financial  statements,  effective  January 1,
1995,  the Bank changed its method of accounting for the impairment of loans and
the related allowance for loan losses.

       (ALL DATA RELATED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND THE NINE MONTHS ENDED

1.             SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

               Stanton   Federal  Savings  Bank  (the  "Bank")  is  a  federally
               chartered    mutual   savings   bank   located   in   Pittsburgh,
               Pennsylvania.  The Bank's  principal  sources of revenue  emanate
               from its  investment,  mortgage-backed  securities,  and mortgage
               loan  portfolios.  The Bank is supervised by the Office of Thrift
               Supervision.

               Basis of Presentation
               ---------------------

               The accounting  policies  followed by the Bank and the methods of
               applying  these  principles   conform  with  generally   accepted
               accounting  principles  and  with  general  practice  within  the
               banking   industry.   In  preparing  the  financial   statements,
               management  is required to make  estimates and  assumptions  that
               affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities as of the
               date of the  balance  sheet and  revenues  and  expenses  for the
               period.  Actual  results  could  differ  significantly from those
               estimates.
   
               The  balance  sheet as of  September  30,  1997  and the  related
               statement of income,  changes in retained earnings and cash flows
               for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 and the related
               statement  of income  and cash  flows for the nine  months  ended
               September  30,  1996 are  unaudited  and have  been  prepared  in
               accordance  with the  requirements  for a presentation of interim
               financial   statements  and  are  in  accordance  with  generally
               accepted accounting principles.  In the opinion of management all
               adjustments  consisting of normal recurring  adjustments that are
               necessary  for a fair  presentation  of  the  periods  have  been
               reflected.
    
               A  summary  of  significant  accounting  and  reporting  policies
               applied  in  the  presentation  of  the  accompanying   financial
               statements follows:

               Investment Securities Including Mortgage-Backed Securities
               ----------------------------------------------------------

               Debt securities,  including mortgage-backed securities,  acquired
               with the intent and  ability  to hold to  maturity  are stated at
               cost and adjusted for  amortization  of premium and  accretion of
               discount,  which are computed  using a level yield method and are
               recognized as adjustments of interest income.  Certain other debt
               and equity  securities have been classified as available for sale
               to serve principally as a source of liquidity. Unrealized holding
               gains and losses for available for sale  securities  are reported
               as a separate component of retained  earnings,  net of tax, until
               realized. Realized securities gains and losses are computed using
               the specific  identification  method.  Interest and  dividends on
               investment securities are recognized as income when earned.

               Common   stock  of  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  (the  "FHLB")
               represents  ownership in an institution  which is wholly-owned by
               other financial  institutions.  This equity security is accounted
               for at cost and reported separately on the accompanying statement
               of financial condition.

               Loans Receivable
               ----------------

               Loans receivable are stated at their unpaid principal amounts net
               of any unearned  income.  Interest on loans is credited to income
               as earned. Interest accrued on loans more than 90 days delinquent
               is generally offset by a reserve for uncollected  interest and is
               not recognized as income.

1.             SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

               Loans Receivable (Continued)
   
               The  accrual  of  interest  is  generally  discontinued  when the
               contractual  payment of principal and interest has become 90 days
               past  due  or  management   has  serious   doubts  about  further
               collectibility  of principal or interest  even though the loan is
               currently  performing.  A loan may remain on accrual status if it
               is in the process of collection and is either  guaranteed or well
               secured.  When a loan  is  placed  on  nonaccrual  status  unpaid
               interest is credited to income.  Interest  received on nonaccrual
               loans is either  applied to  principal  or  reported  as interest
               income,   according   to   management's   judgment   as  to   the
               collectibility of principal.
    
              
               Loan Origination Fees
               ---------------------
   
               Loan  origination  and  commitment  fees and certain  direct loan
               origination costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized
               as an  adjustment  of the  related  loan's  yield.  The  Bank  is
               amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the related
               loans ^using the interest method.
    
               Allowance for Loan Losses
               -------------------------

               Effective   January  1,  1995,  the  Bank  adopted  Statement  of
               Financial  Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors
               for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by Statement No. 118. Under
               this Standard, the Bank estimates credit losses on impaired loans
               based on the present  value of expected  cash flows or fair value
               of the underlying collateral if the loan repayment is expected to
               come  from the sale or  operation  of such  collateral.  Prior to
               1995,  the credit  losses  related to these loans were  estimated
               based  on  undiscounted  cash  flows  or the  fair  value  of the
               underlying  collateral.  Statement  118 amends  Statement  114 to
               permit  a  creditor  to  use  existing  methods  for  recognizing
               interest   income  on  impaired  loans   eliminating  the  income
               recognition  provisions  of Statement  114. The adoption of these
               statements did not have a material effect on the Bank's financial
               position or results of operation.

               Impaired loans are  commercial  and commercial  real estate loans
               for  which  it is  probable  that  the  Bank  will not be able to
               collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the
               loan agreement.  The Bank  individually  evaluates such loans for
               impairment   and  does  not   aggregate   loans  by  major   risk
               classifications.  The  definition of "impaired  loans" is not the
               same as the  definition of "nonaccrual  loans,"  although the two
               categories  overlap.  The  Bank  may  choose  to  place a loan on
               nonaccrual  status  due  to  payment   delinquency  or  uncertain
               collectibility, while not classifying the loan as impaired if the
               loan is not a commercial or commercial real estate loan.  Factors
               considered  by  management  in  determining   impairment  include
               payment status and collateral value. The amount of impairment for
               these types of impaired  loans is  determined  by the  difference
               between the present  value of the expected  cash flows related to
               the loan,  using the  original  interest  rate,  and its recorded
               value, or, as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized
               loans,  the  difference  between the fair value of the collateral
               and  the  recorded  amount  of the  loans.  When  foreclosure  is
               probable,  impairment is measured  based on the fair value of the
               collateral.

               Mortgage loans on one-to-four  family properties and all consumer
               loans are large groups of smaller balance  homogeneous  loans and
               are measured for impairment  collectively.  Loans that experience
               insignificant  payment  delays,  which are  defined as 90 days or
               less,  generally  are  not  classified  as  impaired.  Management
               determines the  significance  of payment delays on a case-by-case
               basis,   taking  into  consideration  all  of  the  circumstances
               surrounding  the loan and the  borrower,  including the length of
               the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of
               shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

               ^Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)
   
               The  allowance  for  loan  losses  represents  the  amount  which
               management  estimates  is adequate to provide for ^ losses in its
               loan  portfolio.  The  allowance  method is used in providing for
               loan  losses.  Accordingly,  all loan  losses are  charged to the
               allowance  and all  recoveries  are credited to it. The allowance
               for loan  losses  is  established  through a  provision  for loan
               losses  charged to  operations.  The provision for loan losses is
               based on management's  periodic  evaluation of individual  loans,
               economic  factors,  past loan  loss  experience,  changes  in the
               composition  and  volume of the  portfolio,  and  other  relevant
               factors.  The estimates used in  determining  the adequacy of the
               allowance  for loan losses,  including  the amounts and timing of
               future cash flows expected on impaired  loans,  are  particularly
               susceptible to changes in the near term.
    

               Premises and Equipment
               ----------------------

               Premises  and  equipment  are  stated  at cost  less  accumulated
               depreciation.  Depreciation is calculated using straight-line and
               accelerated  methods over the useful lives of the related assets.
               Expenditures   for   maintenance   and  repairs  are  charged  to
               operations as incurred. Costs of major additions and improvements
               are capitalized.

               Real Estate Owned
               -----------------

               Real estate owned, acquired in settlement of foreclosed loans, is
               carried at the lower of cost or fair value minus  estimated  cost
               to sell.  Valuation  allowances for estimated losses are provided
               when the  carrying  value  exceeds the fair value.  Direct  costs
               incurred on such  properties  are recorded as expenses of current
               operations.

               Federal Income Taxes
               --------------------

               Deferred  tax assets or  liabilities  are  computed  based on the
               difference  between the financial  statement and income tax basis
               of assets and liabilities  using the enacted  marginal tax rates.
               Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes
               in the deferred tax asset or liability from period to period.

               Cash and Cash Equivalents
               -------------------------

               The Bank has defined cash and cash  equivalents as those cash and
               due from banks and overnight deposits with the FHLB.

               Reclassification of Comparative Amounts
               ---------------------------------------

               Certain  comparative account balances for prior periods have been
               reclassified  to conform to the current  period  classifications.
               Such reclassifications did not effect net income.

               Recent Accounting Pronouncements
               --------------------------------

               In June 1996,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board ("the
               FASB")  issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
               125,  "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets
               and Extinguishment of Liabilities," which provides accounting and
               reporting  standards  for  transfers  and  servicing of financial
               assets and extinguishment of liabilities.  This statement applies
               prospectively  in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1996,
               and  establishes  new  standards  that focus on control  whereas,
               after a transfer of financial  assets,  an entity  recognizes the
               financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it
               has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been
               surrendered, and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished.  The
               adoption of Statement  125 did not have a material  impact on the
               Bank's results of operations or financial  position at or for the
               nine months ended September 30, 1997.

               Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
               --------------------------------------------

               In  December  1996,  the  FASB  issued   Statement  of  Financial
               Accounting  Standards No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of
               Certain  Provisions  of FASB  Statement  No. 125."  Statement 127
               defers for one year the  effective  date of portions of Statement
               125  that  address  secured  borrowings  and  collateral  for all
               transactions. Additionally, Statement 127 defers for one year the
               effective date of transfers of financial  assets that are part of
               repurchase    agreements,    securities   lending   and   similar
               transactions.  The Bank does not expect adoption of Statement 127
               to have a material  impact on the Bank's results of operations or
               financial position.

               In July 1997 the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
               Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 130, "Reporting
               Comprehensive  Income." Statement No. 130 is effective for fiscal
               years   beginning   after  December  15,  1997.   This  statement
               establishes   standards  for  reporting   and   presentation   of
               comprehensive  income  and its  components  (revenues,  expenses,
               gains and  losses)  in a full set of  general  purpose  financial
               statements.  It requires  that all items that are  required to be
               recognized   under   accounting   standards  as   components   of
               comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is
               presented with the same prominence as other financial statements.
               Statement No. 130 requires that  companies (i) classify  items of
               other  comprehensive  income  by  their  nature  in  a  financial
               statement  and (ii)  display  the  accumulated  balance  of other
               comprehensive   income  separately  from  retained  earnings  and
               additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the statement
               of financial condition.  Reclassification of financial statements
               for  earlier  periods  provided  for  comprehensive  purposes  is
               required.

               The amortized cost and estimated market value of  mortgage-backed
               securities   by    contractual  maturity   are   shown   below.
               Mortgage-backed  securities  provide  for  periodic  payments  of
               principal and  interest.  Due to expected  repayment  terms being
               significantly  less  than  the  underlying   mortgage  loan  pool
               contractual  maturities,  the estimated lives of these securities
               could be significantly shorter.

               In the normal course of business, loans are extended to directors
               and  executive  officers and their  associates.  In  management's
               opinion,  all of these loans are on substantially  the same terms
               and  conditions as loans to other  individuals  and businesses of
               comparable creditworthiness. A summary of loan activity for those
               directors,  executive  officers,  and their  associates with loan

               Borrowing  capacity  consists  of  credit  arrangements  with the
               Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. FHLB borrowings are subject
               to annual renewal, incur no service charges, and are secured by a
               blanket   security    agreement   on   certain   investment   and
               mortgage-backed securities, outstanding residential mortgages and
               the Bank's investment in FHLB stock. As of December 31, 1996, the
               Bank's maximum borrowing capacity with the FHLB was approximately
               $16.2  million.  As of September 30, 1997,  December 31, 1996 and
               1995, there were no outstanding borrowings.

               Savings  Association  Insurance  Fund  ("SAIF")  of  the  Federal
               Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC") by a one time charge to
               SAIF-insured  institutions  of 65.7 basis  points per one hundred
               dollars  of  insurable  deposits.  The  gross  effect to the Bank
               amounted to $160,102, which is reflected in the financial results
               of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 1996.

11.            INCOME TAXES (Continued)
    

               Income taxes  applicable to net securities gains were $42,319 for
               the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 and for the year ended
               December 31, 1996.

               On August 20, 1996, The Small Business Job  Protections  Act (the
               "Act") was signed into law. The Act  eliminated the percentage of
               taxable income bad debt deduction for thrift institutions for tax
               years  beginning  after  December 31, 1995. The Act provides that
               bad  debt  reserves  accumulated  prior  to 1988 be  exempt  from
               recapture.  Bad debt reserves  accumulated after 1987 are subject
               to  recapture.  The  Bank  has  accumulated  additional  bad debt
               reserves since 1987 of $85,251.

               The following temporary differences gave rise to the net deferred
tax assets (liabilities):

               have  completed  five or more years of service.  Expenses for the

13.            COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
    
               Commitments
   
               In  the  normal  course  of  business,  the  Bank  makes  various
               commitments which are not reflected in the accompanying financial
               statements.   These  instruments  involve,  to  varying  degrees,
               elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount
               recognized  in the statement of financial  condition.  The Bank's
               exposure  to credit  loss in the event of  nonperformance  by the
               other parties to the financial  instruments is represented by the
               contractual amounts as disclosed. The Bank minimizes its exposure
               to credit  loss under these  commitments  by  subjecting  them to
               credit   approval   and   review   procedures,   and   collateral
               requirements,  as deemed  necessary. ^Commitments  generally have
               fixed expiration dates within one year of their origination.
    
               The  off-balance   sheet   commitments   were  comprised  of  the
following:

                                                                 ----------------  ----------------  ----------------

</TABLE>

               All of the Bank's commitments to fund future loans are fixed rate
               and at September 30, 1997 those rates ranged from 7.75% to 8.50%.

               Contingent Liabilities

               In the normal course of business, the Bank is involved in various
               legal   proceedings   primarily   involving  the   collection  of
               outstanding loans. None of these proceedings are expected to have
               a  material  effect on the  consolidated  financial  position  or
               operations of the Bank.

14.              CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
    

               The Bank is subject to various  regulatory  capital  requirements
               administered  by the  federal  banking  agencies.  The  Office of
               Thrift Supervision sets forth capital standards applicable to all
               thrifts.   Failure  to  meet  minimum  capital  requirements  can
               initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional  discretionary
               actions  by the  regulators  that,  if  undertaken,  could have a
               direct  material  effect  on  the  Bank's  financial  statements.
               Capital adequacy guidelines involve quantitative  measures of the
               Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as
               calculated  under  regulatory  accounting  practices.  The Bank's
               capital   amounts  and   classification   are  also   subject  to
               qualitative  judgments by the regulators about  components,  risk
               weightings, and other factors.

               Quantitative  measures  established  by the  regulation to ensure
               capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and
               ratios  of  Total  and  Tier  I  capital   (as   defined  in  the
               regulations) to  risk-weighted  assets,  and of tangible and core
               capital (as defined in the  regulations)  to adjusted  assets (as
               defined).  Management  believes as of December  31, 1996 that the
               Bank meets all capital  adequacy  requirements  to which they are
               subject.

               As of December 31, 1996,  the most recent  notification  from the
               Bank's   primary   regulator   categorized   the  Bank  as  "well
               capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
               action.  To be  categorized as "well  capitalized"  the Bank must
               maintain minimum  tangible,  core, and risk-based  ratios.  There
               have been no  conditions or events since that  notification  that
               management believes have changed the Bank's category.

               The following table reconciles  capital under generally  accepted
accounting principles to regulatory capital.

               Prior to the enactment of The Small  Business Job  Protection Act
               discussed in Note 12, the Bank accumulated approximately $975,000
               of  retained   earnings  at  December  31,  1996,   which  amount
               represents  allocations of income to bad debt  deductions for tax
               purposes only.  Since this amount  represents the accumulated bad
               debt reserves  prior to 1988, no provision for federal income tax
               has been made for such  amount.  If any portion of this amount is
               used other than to absorb loan losses (which is not anticipated),
               the amount  will be subject to federal  income tax at the current
               corporate rate.

</TABLE>

               Financial  instruments  are  defined  as  cash,  evidence  of  an
               ownership  interest in an entity,  or a contract which creates an
               obligation  or  right  to  receive  or  deliver  cash or  another
               financial  instrument  from/to  a second  entity  on  potentially
               favorable or unfavorable terms.

               Fair  value  is  defined  as the  amount  at  which  a  financial
               instrument  could be exchanged in a current  transaction  between
               willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation  sale. If a
               quoted market price is available for a financial instrument,  the
               estimated  fair value would be  calculated  based upon the market
               price per trading unit of the instrument.

               If no readily  available market exists,  the fair value estimates
               for financial  instruments are based upon  management's  judgment
               regarding  current  economic  conditions,   interest  rate  risk,
               expected cash flows,  future estimated losses,  and other factors
               as  determined   through  various  option  pricing   formulas  or
               simulation  modeling.  As many of these  assumptions  result from
               judgments  made by  management  based  upon  estimates  which are
               inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated fair values may not
               be  indicative  of  the  amount  realizable  in  the  sale  of  a
               particular  financial  instrument.  In  addition,  changes in the
               assumptions on which the estimated fair values are based may have
               a significant impact on the resulting estimated fair values.

               As certain  assets,  such as deferred tax assets and premises and
               equipment,   are  not  considered  financial   instruments,   the
               estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent
               the full value of the Bank.

15.            FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued)
    

               The Office of Thrift Supervision  employed simulation modeling in
               determining the estimated fair value of financial instruments for
               which  quoted  market  prices were not  available  based upon the
               following assumptions:

   
               Cash  and  Due  From   Banks,   Interest-bearing   Deposits  ^and
               -----------------------------------------------------------------
               Certificates of  Deposits  with  Other  Banks,  Accrued  Interest
               -----------------------------------------------------------------
               Receivable, FHLB  Stock,  Advances  By Borrowers  For  Taxes  and
               -----------------------------------------------------------------
               Insurance, and Accrued Interest Payable
               ---------------------------------------
    

               The fair value is equal to the current carrying value.

               Investment Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities
               ----------------------------------------------------

               The  fair  value of these  securities  is equal to the  available
               quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair
               value is  estimated  using the quoted  market  price for  similar
               securities.

               Loans Receivable and Deposits
               -----------------------------

               The fair value of loans is  estimated by  discounting  the future
               cash flows using a simulation  model which estimates  future cash
               flows based upon  current  market rates  adjusted for  prepayment
               risk and credit  quality.  Savings,  checking,  and money  market
               deposit accounts are valued at the amount payable on demand as of
               year end.  Fair values for time  deposits are  estimated  using a
               discounted cash flow calculation that applies  contractual  costs
               currently  being  offered in the  existing  portfolio  to current
               market  rates  being  offered for  deposits of similar  remaining
               maturities.

               Commitments to Extend Credit
               ----------------------------

               These  financial  instruments  are generally not subject to sale,
               and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying
               value,  represented  by the net  deferred  fee  arising  from the
               unrecognized   commitment  and  the  fair  value,  determined  by
               discounting  the remaining  contractual  fee over the term of the
               commitment  using fees  currently  charged to enter into  similar
               agreements with similar credit risk, are not considered  material
               for disclosure.  The contractual amounts of unfunded  commitments
               are presented in Note 14.

   
16.            SUBSEQUENT EVENT
    

               Plan of Conversion
               ------------------

               On  September 30, 1997, the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Bank,
               subject to regulatory approval and approval by the members of the
               Bank, adopted a Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") to convert from a
               federally  chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered
               stock  savings  bank and the  concurrent  formation  of a holding
               company for the Bank. The Plan provides that the holding  company
               will offer nontransferable subscription rights to purchase common
               stock of the holding company. The rights will be offered first to
               eligible account holders, the Bank's tax-qualified employee stock
               benefits  plans,   supplemental  eligible  account  holders,  and
               directors, officers, and employees. Any shares remaining may then
               be offered to the general public.

   
               Conversion  costs will be deferred and deducted from the proceeds
               of the stock offering.  If the offering is  unsuccessful  for any
               reason, the deferred costs will be charged to operations.  ^There
               were no conversion cost incurred as of September 30, 1997.

16.            SUBSEQUENT EVENT (Continued)
    


               At the date of conversion,  the Bank will establish a liquidation
               account in an amount equal to its retained earnings  reflected in
               the  statement  of  financial  condition  appearing  in the final
               prospectus.  The  liquidation  account will be maintained for the
               benefit of eligible  account  holders and  supplemental  eligible
               account  holders who continue to maintain  their  accounts at the
               Bank  after  the  conversion.  The  liquidation  will be  reduced
               annually to the extent these  account  holders have reduced their
               qualifying deposits. In the event of a complete liquidation, each
               eligible  savings  account  holder  will be entitled to receive a
               distribution   from  the   liquidation   account   in  an  amount
               proportionate  to the current  adjusted  qualifying  balances for
               accounts then held.

               The Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on, or repurchase
               any of its common  shares if the effect  thereof  would cause the
               Bank's shareholders' equity to be reduced below either the amount
               required for the  liquidation  account or the regulatory  capital
               requirements for insured institutions.

Dear Sirs:

SFSB Holding  Company,  a Pennsylvania  corporation  (the "Company") and Stanton
Federal  Savings Bank, a federally  chartered  mutual savings bank (the "Bank"),
hereby confirm their agreement with Ryan, Beck & Co., Inc. ("Ryan,  Beck" or the
"Agent" or "you"), as follows:

         Introductory. The Bank is in the process of converting from a federally
chartered savings bank in the mutual form to a federally  chartered savings bank
in stock form in accordance with the provisions of the Home Owners' Loan Act, as
amended  (the  "HOLA"),  and the rules and  regulations  of the Office of Thrift
Supervision  ("OTS") which have been or which may be  promulgated  thereunder by
the OTS, such statute,  rules and regulations being collectively  referred to as
the "Conversion Regulations." An Application for Approval of Conversion has been
filed with the OTS (the "Conversion Application") and all amendments required to
the date hereof have also been filed. The Conversion Application includes, among
other things,  the Bank's plan of  conversion  (the "Plan") and the Bank's proxy
statement for the Special  Meeting of Members,  to be held on  __________,  1998
("Proxy Statement"). Prior to the date hereof, the Plan has been approved by the
Board of Directors  (hereinafter  referred to as "Directors") of the Bank and by
the OTS. Pursuant to the Plan, the Bank will convert from a federally  chartered
mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank; the Company has
filed an application (the "Holding Company  Application") with the OTS to become
a registered  savings and loan holding  company  under HOLA;  all the issued and
outstanding stock of the Bank will be sold to the Company,  and the Company will
issue and sell its Common Stock (as defined  below) in a  Subscription  Offering
and, if necessary, in a Community Offering or Public Offering as selected by the
Company, all of which are described below and in the Plan.  Collectively,  these
transactions  are  referred  to herein as the  "Conversion."  Collectively,  the
Subscription  Offering,  the  Community  Offering,  and the

Public  Offering  are  herein  referred  to as the  "Offerings";  and  the  term
"Offering" shall mean any of the Offerings individually.

         Upon  consummation of the Conversion,  the Company will have authorized
capital of 5,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 4,000,000 shares shall be
common  stock,  $0.10 par value per share (the  "Common  Stock")  and  1,000,000
shares shall be preferred stock of $0.10 par value.  The Company,  in accordance
with the Plan, is offering, in a subscription offering by way of nontransferable
subscription rights, shares of Common Stock, in order of priority, to depositors
of the Bank with  account  balances  of $50.00 or more as of  December  31, 1995
("Eligible  Account  Holders"),  the Bank's  Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan, a
taxqualified  employee  benefit plan (the  "ESOP"),  depositors of the Bank with
account  balances  of $50.00 or more as of  September  30,  1997  ("Supplemental
Eligible Account  Holders"),  and depositors other than Eligible Account Holders
and  Supplemental  Eligible  Account  Holders as of the Voting  Record  Date and
borrowers  of the Bank with loans  outstanding  as of April 1, 1996 and continue
outstanding as of the Voting Record Date ("Other  Members").  Concurrently,  and
subject to the prior rights of holders of subscription  rights,  the Company may
offer Common Stock for sale in a community offering to the general public,  with
preference given to natural persons who reside in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
or to selected  persons in a best efforts  public  offering  through Ryan,  Beck
("Other Subscribers"). With the exception of the ESOP, which intends to purchase
up to 8% of the total number of shares of Common Stock issued in the Conversion,
no person may purchase more than 7,500 shares of the Common Stock offered in the
Conversion;  and no person,  together with  associates of and persons  acting in
concert with such person,  may  purchase  more than 12,500  shares of the Common
Stock  offered in the  Conversion;  provided,  however that the maximum  overall
purchase limitation may be increased or decreased and the amount permitted to be
subscribed  for may be  increased or  decreased  in the sole  discretion  of the
Company.  It is acknowledged  that the Company in its sole discretion may accept
or  reject,  in whole or in part,  any orders to  purchase  shares of the Common
Stock received in the Community Offering or in the Public Offering.

         The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the
"Commission")  a registration  statement on Form SB-2 (File No.  333-_____) (the
"Registration  Statement") containing a Prospectus relating to the Offerings for
the  registration  of the Common  Stock  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended (the "1933 Act"), and has filed such amendments thereto and such amended
prospectuses as may have been required to the date hereof.  The  Prospectus,  as
amended,  on file with the  Commission  at the time the  Registration  Statement
becomes  effective is hereinafter  called the  "Prospectus",  except that if the
Prospectus  filed  by the  Company  pursuant  to Rule 424 (b) of the  rules  and
regulations  of the Commission  under the 1933 Act (the "1933 Act  Regulations")
differs  from the  prospectus  on file at the time  the  Registration  Statement
becomes  effective,  the term  "Prospectus"  shall

refer to the  prospectus  filed  pursuant to Rule 424(b) from and after the time
said prospectus is filed with the Commission.

         SECTION 1. Appointment of Agent;  Compensation to the Agent. Subject to
the terms and  conditions  herein set  forth,  the Bank and the  Company  hereby
appoint  the  Agent as its agent to  consult  with and  advise  the Bank and the
Company, to solicit subscriptions and purchase orders for Common Stock on behalf
of the Bank and the Company, in connection with the Company's offering of Common
Stock in the Subscription  Offering and Community Offering and at the request of
the Company to manage a best efforts Public Offering of the Common Stock in such
amount of shares of the Common Stock as the Company may request,  provided  that
in no event will the shares of Common Stock offerred in all Offerings  exceed an
aggregate  of  727,375.  On the  basis of the  representations,  warranties  and
agreements herein contained,  and subject to the terms and conditions herein set
forth, Ryan, Beck accepts such appointment and agrees to consult with and advise
the Bank and the  Company  as to the  matters  set  forth  in  Section  3 of the
Engagement Letter between the Agent and the Bank dated October 3, 1997, included
as  Exhibit  A  attached  hereto,  and  to  use  its  best  efforts  to  solicit
subscriptions  and  purchase  orders for Common  Stock in  accordance  with this
Agreement;  provided,  however,  that the  Agent  shall not be  responsible  for
obtaining  subscriptions or purchase orders for any specific number of shares of
Common  Stock,  shall not be required  to  purchase  any shares and shall not be
obligated to take any action which is  inconsistent  with all  applicable  laws,
regulations, decisions or orders.

         The appointment of the Agent hereunder shall terminate upon termination
of the Offerings and satisfaction of the obligations of the Bank and the Company
pursuant to this Agreement.

         Subject to the prior approval of the Company and the Bank,  Ryan,  Beck
may also assemble and manage a selling group of broker dealers ("Selling Group")
which are  members of the  National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc.
("NASD") to participate  in the  solicitation  of purchase  orders for shares of
Common Stock in the Public  Offering  under a selected  dealers'  agreement (the
"Selected Dealers'  Agreement"),  the form of which is set forth as Exhibit B to
this Agreement.

         In addition to the reimbursement of the expenses  specified in Sections
6, 7 and 8 hereof, the Agent will receive an advisory,  management and marketing
fee of $100,000  ("Advisory and Marketing Fee") for the sale of the Common Stock
sold in the  Subscription and Community  Offerings.  Should the Company elect to
conduct a Public  Offering,  a selling  group of NASD  member  firms  (which may
include Ryan,  Beck) under a Selected  Dealers'  Agreement (the "Selling Group")
may be  implemented,  and the Bank shall pay a fee to Ryan,  Beck for each share
sold by it or selected  dealers in a Public  Offering  (collectively,  "Selected
Dealers' Fee") of five and one-half percent (5.5%) in the aggregate.  Ryan, Beck

responsible for paying any appropriate  fees to a selected dealer for any shares
of Common  Stock sold by such a  selected  dealer in the  Public  Offering.  The
Advisory  and  Marketing  Fee  and the  Selected  Dealers'  Fee are  hereinafter
collectively  referred to as the "Sales  Compensation." No Selected Dealers' Fee
shall be payable  pursuant to this section in connection with the sale of Common
Stock to officers,  directors,  employees  (and members of the immediate  family
thereof),  and  employee  benefit  plans  of the  Company  and the  Bank.  It is
acknowledged  that the Bank paid the Agent $12,500 of the Advisory and Marketing
Fee upon execution of the Engagement Letter.  Ryan, Beck will not commence sales
of shares of Common Stock  through  members of the Selling  Group  without prior
approval of the Bank.

         If the  Conversion is not  consummated  by September  30, 1998,  due to
conditions  beyond the  control of the Agent,  or if the Agent  terminates  this
Agreement in  accordance  with Section 10 hereof,  the Agent shall  receive,  in
addition to the Agent's  reasonable out of pocket expenses as defined in Section
6  hereof,   an  advisory  and   administrative   services  fee  of  $25,000  in

Compensation.  If there is necessitated a resolicitation  of  subscriptions  and
purchase orders, the Company,  the Bank and the Agent agree to negotiate in good
faith an agreement to cover the Agent's  further fees and expenses in connection
therewith.

         The  compensation  specified  above shall be payable (to the extent not
already  paid) to the Agent on the earlier of the Closing  Date (as  hereinafter
defined), or a determination by the Company and the Bank to terminate or abandon
the Plan.  The Bank and the Company  agree to reimburse  the Agent for the costs
and expenses  specified in Sections 6, 7 and 8 hereof,  to the extent such costs
and expenses are  reasonably  incurred by the Agent,  promptly upon  receiving a
reasonable accounting of such costs and expenses.

         SECTION 2. Closing Date; Release of Funds and Deliverv of Certificates.

hereof and by the  authorized  withdrawal  of funds  from  deposit  accounts  of
Eligible  Account  Holders,  Supplemental  Eligible  Account  Holders  and Other
Members in accordance with the Plan; provided, however, that no such funds shall
be  released to the  Company or  withdrawn  until the  conditions  specified  in
Section 9 hereof shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of
the Agent and its counsel. Such release, withdrawal and payment shall be made at
the Closing Date of the Offerings,  on a business day and at a place selected by
the Agent,  which date and place are acceptable to the Bank and the Company,  on
at least  two  business  days  prior  notice to the Bank and  Company  (it being
understood that such business day shall not be more than ten business days after
completion of the Offerings or the

dated as of _______________,  1997, described in the Prospectus,  is independent
with  respect to the Company  and the Bank within the meaning of the  Conversion

is, with respect to the Company and the Bank, an  independent  certified  public
accountant as required by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.

         (j) The financial statements included in the Registration Statement and

of operations, retained earnings and changes in financial position and statement
of cash  flows of the  Bank,  at and for the  dates  indicated  and the  periods

that  accounting   principles   employed  in  such  brings  (not  including  the
Registration  Statement)  conform to  requirements  of such  authorities and not
necessarily to generally accepted  accounting  principles.  The other financial,
statistical,  and pro  forma  information  and  related  notes  included  in the
Prospectus  present fairly the information  shown therein on a basis  consistent
with the audited  financial  statements of the Bank included in the  Prospectus,
and as to the  pro-forma  adjustments,  the  adjustments  made therein have been

         (k) Since the respective dates as of which  information is given in the
Registration  Statement  and  Prospectus,  except  as may  otherwise  be  stated
therein:  (i) there has not been any material  adverse  change in the  financial
condition  of the Company or the Bank or of the Company and the Bank  considered

has not been any material  increase in the long-term  debt of the Bank,  nor has
the Bank issued any  securities  or incurred  any  liability or  obligation  for
borrowing  other than in the ordinary  course of business,  (iii) there have not
been any material  transactions  entered into by the Company or the Bank, except
those  transactions  entered into in the  ordinary  course of business and those
specifically  contemplated  by the  Prospectus,  including the execution of loan
documents  pertaining  to the ESOP,  and (iv) the  capitalization,  liabilities,
assets,

properties  and  business of the Company  and the Bank  conform in all  material
respects to the descriptions  thereof  contained in the Prospectus.  To the best
knowledge of the Company and the Bank,  neither the Company nor the Bank has any
material liability of any kind, contingent or otherwise,  except as set forth in
the Prospectus.

         (1) The Bank is now a federally  chartered  savings bank in mutual form
of  organization  and upon the  Conversion  will  become a  federally  chartered
savings  bank in capital  stock form of  organization,  in both  instances  duly
authorized  to conduct its  business  and own its  property as  described in the
Registration  Statement;  the Company and the Bank have  obtained  all  material

governmental  authorizations  are in full force and effect;  and the Company and
the  Bank  are  in  all  material  respects  complying  with  all  laws,  rules,
regulations and orders applicable to the operation of their businesses. The Bank
does not own equity  securities  or any equity  interest  in any other  business
enterprise except as described in the Prospectus. Upon completion of the sale by
the Company of the shares of Common Stock  contemplated by the  Prospectus,  (i)
the Bank will be converted  pursuant to the Plan to a federally  chartered stock
savings bank, (ii) all of the issued and  outstanding  capital stock of the Bank
will be  owned by the  Company,  and  (iii)  the  Company  will  have no  direct
subsidiaries  other than the Bank. The Conversion will have been effected in all
material  respects in  accordance  with all  applicable  statutes,  regulations,
decisions  and  orders;  and,  except  with  respect  to the  filing of  certain
post-sale,   post-conversion  reports  and  documents,  all  terms,  conditions,
requirements  and  provisions  with  respect  to the  Conversion  imposed by the
Commission  and the OTS, if any, will have been complied with by the Company and
the Bank in all material respects or appropriate waivers will have been obtained
and all material notice and waiting periods will have been satisfied,  waived or
elapsed.

         (m) The  deposit  accounts  of the  Bank  are  insured  by the  Savings
Association  Insurance  Fund  ("SAIF")  as  administered  by the  FDIC up to the
maximum  amount  allowed under law. Upon  consummation  of the  Conversion,  the
liquidation account for the benefit of Eligible Account Holders and Supplemental
Eligible  Account Holders  ("Liquidation  Account") will be duly  established in
accordance with the requirements of the Conversion Regulations.

         (n) Upon  consummation  of the Conversion,  the authorized,  issued and
outstanding  equity  capital  of  the  Company  will  be as  set  forth  in  the
Registration  Statement  under the  caption  "Capitalization,"  and no shares of
Common  Stock have been or will be issued and  outstanding  prior to the Closing
Date  referred  to in Section 2,  except as to the  issuance  by the  Company of
shares of  Common  Stock,  if any,  for the  purpose  of the  Company's  initial
capitalization and conducting  organizational  business,

which shares of Common Stock shall be cancelled on the Closing Date;  the shares
of Common  Stock  issued  in the  Conversion  will  have  been duly and  validly
authorized  for issuance and, when issued and delivered by the Company  pursuant
to the Plan against payment of the consideration  calculated as set forth in the
Plan and in the  Prospectus,  will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
non-assessable; the issuance of the Common Stock will not violate any preemptive
rights;  and the terms and  provisions  of the Common  Stock will conform in all
material  respects to the  description  thereof  contained  in the  Registration
Statement and the Prospectus. To the best knowledge of the Company and the Bank,
upon the  issuance of the Common  Stock,  good title to the Common Stock will be
transferred from the Company to the purchasers thereof against payment therefor,

Statement (or any amendment or supplement  thereto),  Blue Sky  Application,  or
Sales  Information  made in reliance  upon and in  conformity  with  information
furnished in writing to the Bank by the Agent  regarding the Agent expressly for
use in the Prospectus,  which the Bank and the Company acknowledge includes only
the  information  contained in the  Prospectus  under the  captions  "Market for
Common   Stock"   and  "The   Conversion-Marketing   Arrangements";   nor  shall
indemnification  be required for material oral  misstatements  to a purchaser of
shares of Common Stock made by the Agent,  which are not based upon  information
provided by the Bank orally or in writing or based upon information contained in
the Application (or any amendment or supplement thereto), the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement  thereto),  the Proxy  Statement  (or any  amendments or
supplements thereto),  Blue Sky Application or any Sales Information distributed
in connection with the Conversion. In addition, neither the Company nor the Bank
will be liable under the foregoing  indemnification provision to the extent that
any loss, claim,  damage,  liability or action is found in a final judgment by a
court to have  resulted  from the Agent's bad faith or  negligence in performing
the services to be performed by the Agent under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing,  the indemnification provided for in this paragraph (a) shall not
apply to the Bank to the  extent  that such  indemnification  by the Bank  would
constitute a covered  transaction  under Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act.
For purposes of this  section,  the term  "expense"  shall  include,  but not be
limited  to,  counsel  fees and  costs,  court  costs,  out-of-pocket  costs and
compensation for the time spent by the Agent's  directors,  officers,  employees
and counsel  according to his or her normal hourly billing rates.  The foregoing
agreement to  indemnify  shall be in addition to any  liability  the Company may
otherwise  have to the Agent or the  persons  entitled  to the  benefit of these
indemnification provisions.

         (b) The  Agent  jointly  and  severally  agrees to  indemnify  and hold
harmless the Bank, the Company, the directors,  officers,  agents,  servants and
employees of each of them, and each person, if any, who controls the Bank or the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20(a) of the
1934  Act  against  any  and all  loss,  liability,  claim,  damage  or  expense
whatsoever (including but not limited to settlement expenses), joint or several,
which they,  or any of them,  may suffer or to which they,  or any of them,  may
become subject under all applicable federal and state laws or otherwise,  and to
promptly  reimburse  the Bank or the Company,  and any such persons upon written
demand for any expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel)
incurred by them, or any of them, in connection with investigating, preparing or
defending any actions,  proceedings or claims (whether  commenced or threatened)
to the extent such losses,  claims,  damages,  liabilities or actions: (i)

arise out of or are based upon any untrue  statement or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any  Application (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement  thereto),  the Proxy
Statement (or any amendments or supplements  thereto), or the Sales Information;
or (ii) arise out of or which are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state in any of the  foregoing  documents a material  fact required to be stated
therein  or  necessary  to  make  the  statements   therein,  in  light  of  the
circumstances  under which they were made, not  misleading;  provided,  however,
that its  obligations  under this  Section 7(b) shall exist only if, and only to
the extent,  that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement was made in,
or such material fact or alleged  material fact was omitted from an  Application
(or any amendment or supplement  thereto),  the  Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement  thereto),  the Proxy  Statement (or any  amendments  or  supplements
thereto),  or the Sales  Information  in reliance  upon and in  conformity  with
information furnished in writing to the Bank by the Agent or its representatives
(including counsel) expressly for use in the Prospectus,  which the Bank and the
Company  acknowledge  includes only the information  contained in the Prospectus
under the captions  "Market for the Common Stock" and "The  Conversion-Marketing
Arrangements."  In addition,  the Agent will not be liable  under the  foregoing
indemnification  provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability
or  action is found in a final  judgment  by a court to have  resulted  from the
Bank's bad faith or negligence.

         (c) Each  indemnified  party shall give prompt  written  notice to each
indemnifying  party of any  action,  proceeding,  claim  (whether  commenced  or
threatened),  or suit instituted against it in respect of which indemnity may be
sought  hereunder,  but  failure to so notify an  indemnifying  party  shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have on account of this Section 7 and
Section 8 herein.  An  indemnifying  party may participate at its own expense in
the defense of such  action.  In addition,  if it so elects  within a reasonable
time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly with any other
indemnifying  parties  receiving  such  notice,  may assume the  defense of such
action with counsel  chosen by it and reasonably  acceptable to the  indemnified
parties that are  defendants  in such action,  unless such  indemnified  parties
reasonably  object to such  assumption  on the  ground  that  there may be legal
defenses  available  to them that are  different  from or in  addition  to those
available to such  indemnifying  party.  If an  indemnifying  party  assumes the
defense of such action,  the  indemnifying  parties  shall not be liable for any
fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified  parties incurred thereafter in
connection with such action,  proceeding or claims,  other than reasonable costs
of investigation.  In no event shall the indemnifying  parties be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys for the indemnified parties
(unless an  indemnified  party or parties shall have  reasonably  concluded that
there  may be  defenses  available  to it or them  which are  different  from or
additional to those of the other indemnified parties) in connection with any one
action,  proceeding  or  claim or  separate  but  similar  or  related  actions,
proceedings or claims in the same  jurisdiction  arising out of the 

<PAGE>

Ryan, Beck & Co., Inc.

Page 21


same general  allegations or circumstances.  The indemnifying party shall not be
liable for any  settlement of such action,  proceeding or suit effected  without
its prior written consent.

         (d) The  agreement  contained in this Section 7 and in Section 8 hereof
and the  representations and warranties of the Bank and the Company set forth in
this Agreement  shall remain  operative and in full force and effect  regardless
of:  (i) any  investigation  made by or on behalf of the Agent or its  officers,
directors or controlling persons,  agents or employees or by or on behalf of-the
Bank, the Company or any officers,  directors or controlling persons,  agents or
employees of the Bank or the Company; (ii) delivery of and payment hereunder for
the shares of Common Stock; or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

         SECTION 8. Contribution. If the indemnification of an indemnified party
provided   for  in  Section  7  of  this   Agreement  is  for  any  reason  held
unenforceable,  the Bank or the Company and the Agent agree to contribute to the
losses,  claims,  damages and liabilities for which such indemnification is held
unenforceable:  (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits  to the Bank or the  Company,  on the one hand,  and the Agent,  on the
other hand, of the Conversion as contemplated  (whether or not the Conversion is
consummated),  or (ii) if the application  provided for in clause (i) is for any
reason held  unenforceable,  in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative
fault of the Bank or the Company,  on the one hand, and the Agent,  on the other
hand, as well as other equitable considerations.  The Bank or the Company agrees
that for the purposes of this  Section 8, the  relative  benefits of the Bank or
the Company and the Agent of the Conversion as  contemplated  shall be deemed to
be in the same  proportion  that the  total  net  proceeds  from the  Conversion
received by the Bank or the Company in connection  with the  Conversion  bear to
the total fees paid or to be paid to the Agent under this  Agreement.  No person
found guilty of any fraudulent  misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not found  guilty of such  fraudulent  misrepresentation.  For  purposes of this
Section 8, each of the Agent's  officers and directors and each person,  if any,
who controls the Agent within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act shall
have the same rights to contribution as the Agent, and each person,  if any, who
controls the Bank or the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act and the 1934
Act, and each officer,  director and each person,  if any, who controls the Bank
or the Company,  shall have the same rights to  contribution as the Bank and the
Company.  Any party  entitled to  contribution  shall  promptly after receipt of
notice of commencement  of any action,  suit,  claim or proceeding  against such
party in respect to which a claim for  contribution  may be made against another
party,  notify such other party,  but the omission to so notify such party shall
not  relieve  the party  from  whom  contribution  may be sought  from any other
obligation  it may have  hereunder or  otherwise  than under this Section 8. The
Bank, the Company and the Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution  pursuant to this Section 8 were  determined by pro rata allocation
or by other method of  allocation  that does not take into account the

<PAGE>

Ryan, Beck & Co., Inc.

Page 22


equitable  considerations  referred to above in this  Section 8. It is expressly
agreed that the Agent shall not be  required  to  contribute  to the Bank or the
Company for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense any amount that in the
aggregate exceeds the amount paid to the Agent under this Agreement.

         SECTION 9. Conditions of Your Obligations.  Your obligations hereunder,
as to the Common Stock to be delivered at the Closing Date, are subject, in your
discretion,  to the condition that all  representations and warranties and other
statements of the Bank and the Company herein are, at and as of the commencement
of each of the Offerings and at and as of the Closing Date,  true and correct in

suspending the  effectiveness of the Registration  Statement or the consummation
of the  Conversion  shall  have been  issued  under the 1933 Act or  proceedings
therefor  initiated or threatened by the Commission or any state authority,  and
no order or other action  suspending the  effectiveness of the Prospectus or the
consummation  of the Conversion  shall have been issued or proceedings  therefor
initiated or threatened by the Commission,  any state authority,  the OTS or the
FDIC.

opinions.

         (1) The favorable  opinion,  dated as of the Closing Date  addressed to

              (iii) The  deposit  accounts  of the Bank are insured by the  SAIF
          up to applicable  limits in accordance  with  applicable  regulations;
          and, to the best of such  counsel's  knowledge,  no proceeding for the
          termination  or revocation of such insurance is pending or threatened.
          The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.

              (iv) Upon  consummation of the Conversion,  the authorized, issued

          no shares of Common Stock have been issued prior to the Closing  Date;
          the shares of Common Stock to be sold in the Offerings, have been duly
          and validly  authorized for issuance and, when issued and delivered by

          issued  and fully  paid and  nonassessable;  and the  issuance  of the
          shares of Common Stock is not subject to statutory preemptive rights.

              (v)  Upon  consummation  of  the  Conversion,  all of  the  issued
          and outstanding  capital stock of the Bank will be duly authorized and
          validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable,  and all such capital
          stock  will be owned  of  record  and,  to such  counsel's  knowledge,
          beneficially,  by the Company free and clear of any security interest,
          mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity.

              (vi) The Company's acquisition of the Bank has  been  approved  by
          the OTS and, to the best of such  counsel's  knowledge,  no action has
          been taken or is pending or threatened to revoke such approval.

              (vii) The  Conversion  Application,  as  amended  or supplemented,

Page 24


          approval and, to the best of such counsel's  knowledge,  no action has
          been taken or is pending or threatened to revoke such authorization.

              (viii) The OTS'  approval of the Plan remains in  full  force  and
          effect;  the Bank has duly adopted a federal stock charter and by-laws
          effective upon  consummation  of the  Conversion;  to the best of such
          counsel's  knowledge,  the  Company  and the Bank have  conducted  the
          Conversion  in all material  respects in  accordance  with  applicable
          requirements  of the  Conversion  Regulations,  federal law, all other
          applicable regulations,  decisions and orders thereunder and the Plan,
          including all material applicable terms, conditions,  requirements and
          conditions  precedent to the  Conversion  imposed upon the Company and
          the Bank by the  Commission  and the OTS;  no order has been issued by
          the  Commission  or the OTS to suspend the Offerings and no action for
          such  purpose has been  instituted  or, to the best of such  counsel's
          knowledge,  threatened by the  Commission or the OTS; and, to the best
          of such counsel's knowledge,  no person has sought to obtain review of
          the final action of the OTS in approving the Conversion Application or
          the Plan.

              (ix) This  Agreement  has  been  duly  authorized,  executed   and
          delivered by the Company and the Bank.

              (x) The  Registration  Statement is effective  under  the 1933 Act
          and no stop order suspending  effectiveness  has been issued under the
          1933 Act and, to the best of such counsel's knowledge,  no proceedings
          therefor have been initiated or threatened by the Commission.

              (xi)  Subject   to  satisfaction  of  conditions  of  the  OTS  in
          connection with its approval of the Conversion Application and Holding
          Company Application,  no further approval,  authorization,  consent or
          other  order of any  federal  or state  board or body is  required  in
          connection  with the  execution  and delivery of this  Agreement,  the
          issuance  of the shares of Common  Stock and the  consummation  of the
          Conversion, except as may be required under the securities or Blue Sky
          laws of  various  jurisdictions  as to which  counsel  need  render no
          opinion.

            (xii) At the time the Registration Statement became  effective,  (i)
          the Registration Statement (as amended or supplemented,  if so amended
          or supplemented) (other than the financial statements, stock valuation
          information and other financial and statistical data included

          therein, as to which no opinion need be rendered), complied as to form
          in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the
          1933 Act Regulations and (ii) the Prospectus (other than the financial
          statements,  stock  valuation  information  and  other  financial  and
          statistical  data  included  therein,  as to which no opinion  need be
          rendered)  complied  as to  form in all  material  respects  with  the
          requirements of the Conversion Regulations and federal law.

            (xiii) The information in the Registration  Statement and Prospectus
          under the  captions  "Risk  Factors  -  Anti-Takeover  Provisions  and
          Statutory  Provisions That Could  Discourage  Hostile  Acquisitions of
          Control", "The Conversion", "Regulation", "Taxation", "Restrictions on
          Acquisition  of SFSB  Holding  Company"  and  "Description  of Capital
          Stock" to the extent that it constitutes  matters of law, summaries of
          legal matters,  documents or proceedings,  or legal  conclusions,  has
          been reviewed by such counsel and is correct in all material respects;
          provided,  however,  that as it relates to the  information  under the
          caption  "Taxation"  the opinion need only address  matters of Federal
          law.

              (xiv) The terms and provisions of the Common Stock conform  in all
          material  respects  to  the  description   thereof  contained  in  the
          Prospectus, and the form of certificate used to evidence the shares of
          Common Stock is in due and proper form.

              (xv) To  the  best  of  such  counsel's  knowledge,  there  are no
          material  contracts,  indentures,  loan agreements,  notes,  leases or
          other  instruments  required  to be  described  or  referred to in the
          Registration  Statement  and  Prospectus  or to be filed  as  exhibits
          thereto other than those  described or referred to therein or filed as
          exhibits thereto.

              (xvi) To the best of such counsel's knowledge, the Company and the
          Bank have obtained all material  federal  licenses,  permits and other
          governmental  authorizations  currently  required  under  HOLA for the
          conduct of their respective  businesses as described in the Prospectus
          or the  Registration  Statement,  and all such  licenses,  permits and
          other governmental authorizations are in full force and effect.

              (xvii) The Plan has been duly authorized by the Board of Directors
          of the Company and the Board of Directors  of the Bank and,  effective
          upon  consummation of the  Conversion,  the Bank will be authorized to
          issue capital stock.

            (xviii) To the best of such counsel's knowledge,  the Company is not
          in  violation of its  articles of  incorporation  or in default in the
          performance or observance of any  obligation,  agreement,  covenant or
          condition  contained  in  any  contract,  indenture,   mortgage,  loan
          agreement, note, lease or other instrument described in the Prospectus
          or filed as an exhibit to the  Registration  Statement except for such
          defaults or violations  which would not have a material adverse impact
          on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company and
          the  Bank  taken  as a  whole;  the  execution  and  delivery  of this
          Agreement,  the incurrence of the obligations herein set forth and the
          consummation of the  transactions  contemplated  herein have been duly
          authorized  by all  necessary  corporate  action  on the  part  of the
          Company  and will not  conflict  with or  constitute  a breach  of, or
          default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any material
          lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company
          pursuant to any material contract,  indenture,  loan agreement,  note,
          lease or other  instrument  described in the Prospectus or filed as an
          exhibit to the Registration Statement,  nor will such action result in
          any violation of the  provisions of the articles of  incorporation  or
          bylaws of the Company.

              (xix)  To the  best of such  counsel's  knowledge, the Bank is not
          in violation of its federal  mutual  charter (and the Bank will not be
          in  violation  of its charter in stock form upon  consummation  of the
          Conversion)  or in default in the  performance  or  observance  of any
          obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any material
          contract,  indenture, loan agreement,  note, lease or other instrument
          described in the Prospectus or filed as an exhibit to the Registration
          Statement  except for such defaults or violations which would not have
          a material  adverse  impact on the  financial  condition or results of
          operations of the Company and the Bank taken as a whole; the execution
          and delivery of this  Agreement,  the  incurrence  of the  obligations
          herein set forth and the consummation of the transaction  contemplated
          herein,  will not conflict  with or constitute a breach of, or default
          under,  or result in the creation or imposition of any material  lien,
          charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Bank pursuant
          to any material  contract  indenture,  loan agreement,  note, lease or
          other  instrument,  described in the Prospectus or filed as an exhibit
          to the  Registration  Statement,  nor will such  action  result in any
          violation of the provisions of the charter or bylaws of the Bank.

            (xx) To the best of such counsel's knowledge,  the Company  and  the
          Bank are not in violation of any written directive from the OTS or the
          FDIC to make any  material  change in the method of  conducting  their
          businesses.

             (xxi) Neither the Company nor the Bank is required to be registered
          as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

              (xxii) Based on the certificate of the inspector of election,  the
          Plan has been duly adopted by the required  vote of the members of the
          Bank.

         In  rendering  such  opinion,  such  counsel may rely (A) as to matters
involving the application of laws of any  jurisdiction or the United States,  to
the extent such counsel  deems proper and  specified in such  opinion,  upon the
opinion of other counsel of good standing  (providing  that such counsel  states
that the Agent and its  counsel are  justified  in relying  upon such  specified
opinion or opinions),  and (B) as to matters of fact, to the extent such counsel
deems proper,  on  certificates  of responsible  officers of the Company and the
Bank and public officials.

         (2) The favorable  opinion,  dated as of the Closing Date and addressed
to Ryan Beck and for its  benefit,  of  _____________________,  the Bank's local
counsel, in form and substance to the effect that:

              (i) The Bank has the corporate power and authority to own, operate
          and lease its  properties  and to conduct its business as described in
          the  Registration  Statement  and  Prospectus;  and  the  Bank is duly
          qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good
          standing  in each  jurisdiction  where it owns or leases any  material
          properties or conducts any material business.

              (ii) There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or, to
          the best of such counsel's  knowledge,  threatened against the Company
          or the Bank which are  required to be  disclosed  in the  Registration
          Statement and Prospectus,  other than those disclosed therein, and all
          pending legal and governmental proceedings to which the Company or the
          Bank is the  subject  which  are  not  disclosed  in the  Registration
          Statement,  including  ordinary routine  litigation  incidental to the
          business, are, considered in the aggregate, not material.

              (iii) The Company and the Bank have  obtained  all  material state
          and local  licenses,  permits  and other  governmental  authorizations
          currently  required for the conduct of their respective  businesses as
          described in the Registration  Statement and Prospectus,  and all such
          licenses,  permits and other  governmental  authorizations are in full
          force and effect,  and the  Company  and the Bank are in all  material
          respects complying therewith.

              (iv) To the best of such counsel's knowledge,  the Company and the
          Bank have good and marketable title to all properties and assets which
          are   material   to  the   business  of  the  Company  and  the  Bank,
          respectively,  and to those  properties  and assets  described  in the
          Registration  Statement as owned by them, free and clear of all liens,
          charges, encumbrances or restrictions, except such as are described in
          the Registration  Statement (including the Liquidation Account) or are
          not  material in relation to the  business of the Company and the Bank
          considered as one enterprise.

         (3) the  letter  of  special  counsel  for  the  Company  and the  Bank
addressed to the Agent,  dated the Closing  Date,  in form and  substance to the
effect that:

                  During the  preparation  of the  Conversion  Application,  the
          Registration  Statement and the Prospectus,  such counsel participated
          in  conferences   with  management  of  and  the  independent   public
          accountants  for the Company and the Bank based upon such  conferences
          and a review of corporate  records of the Company and the Bank as such
          counsel   conducted  in  connection   with  the   preparation  of  the
          Registration Statement, nothing has come to their attention that would
          lead them to believe that, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus,
          or any  amendment  or  supplement  thereto  (other than the  financial
          statements, notes to financial statements,  financial tables and other
          financial  and  statistical  data  and  stock  valuation   information
          included  therein,  as to which such  counsel  need  express no view),
          contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
          material fact  required to be stated  therein or necessary to make the
          statements  therein,  in light of the  circumstances  under which they
          were made, not misleading.

         (4) The  favorable  opinion,  dated as of the Closing  Date, of Tucker,
Arensberg,  P.C.,  your  counsel,  with  respect  to  such  matters  as you  may

reasonably  require.  Such  opinion may rely upon the opinions of counsel to the
Bank and the Company,  and as to matters of fact, upon  certificates of officers
and directors of the Company and the Bank delivered  pursuant  hereto or as such
counsel shall reasonably request.

         (c) At the Closing Date,  you shall receive a certificate  of the Chief
Executive  Officer  and the Chief  Financial  Officer of the  Company and of the
Chief Executive  Officer;  and Chief Financial  Officer of the Bank, dated as of
such Closing  Date,  to the effect that:  (i) since the  respective  dates as of
which  information is given in the  Registration  Statement and the  Prospectus,
there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, results of
operations or business of the Company and the Bank considered as one enterprise,
whether  or  not  arising  in  the  ordinary   course  of  business;   (ii)  the
representations  and  warranties  in  Section 4 of this  Agreement  are true and
correct with the same force and effect as though expressly made at and as of the
Closing Date;  (iii) the Company and the Bank have complied with all  agreements
and  satisfied  all  conditions on their part to be performed or satisfied at or
prior to the Closing Date and will comply with all  obligations  to be satisfied
by them after the Conversion; (iv) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement has been initiated or threatened by the Commission or
any state  authority;  and (v) no order  suspending  any of the  Offerings,  the
Conversion,  the  acquisition of all of the shares of the Bank by the Company or
the  effectiveness of the Prospectus has been issued and no proceedings for that
purpose  have  been  initiated  or  threatened  by  the  Commission,  any  state
authority, the FDIC or the OTS.

         (d) Prior to and at the  Closing  Date:  (i) there  shall  have been no
material  adverse  change in the financial  condition,  results of operations or
business  of the  Company or the Bank  independently,  or of the  Company or the
Bank, considered as one enterprise, from that as of the latest dates as of which
such  condition is set forth in the  Prospectus,  except as referred to therein;
(ii) there shall have been no material  transaction  entered into by the Company

financial  condition  of the Company or the Bank is set forth in the  Prospectus
other than transactions referred to or contemplated  therein;  (iii) the Company
or the Bank shall not have received from the FDIC or the OTS any direction (oral
or  written)  to make any  material  change in the  method of  conducting  their
business with which it has not complied  (which  direction,  if any,  shall have
been disclosed to the Agent) or which  materially and adversely would affect the
financial  condition,  results of  operations  or business of the Company or the
Bank;  (iv)  neither the  Company  nor the Bank shall have been in default  (nor
shall an event have occurred which,  with notice or lapse of time or both, would
constitute  a  default)  under any  provision  of any  agreement  or  instrument
relating to any outstanding indebtedness; (v) no action, suit or proceedings, at
law or in equity or before or by any federal or state

commission,  board or other  administrative  agency, shall be pending or, to the
knowledge of the Company or the Bank, threatened against the Company or the Bank
or affecting any of their properties wherein an unfavorable decision,  ruling or
finding would materially and adversely affect the financial  condition,  results
of operations or business of the Company or the Bank, taken as a whole; and (vi)
the shares of Common Stock shall have been  qualified or registered for offering
and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of the jurisdictions as set forth
in the Preliminary Blue Sky Survey of the law firm of Malizia,  Spidi,  Sloane &

         (e) Concurrently  with the execution of this Agreement,  the Agent, the
Company and the Bank shall  receive a letter from La France,  Walker,  Jackley &
Saville dated  _______________,  1998 and addressed to the Agent: (i) confirming
that La  France,  Walker,  Jackley &  Saville  is a firm of  independent  public
accountants  with  respect to the Company and the Bank within the meaning of the
1933 Act and the 1933 Act  Regulations and stating in effect that in its opinion
the financial  statements of the Bank for the years ended  December 31, 1996 and
1995,  as are  included in the  Prospectus  and,  with  respect to such  audited
financial statements covered by its opinion included therein,  comply as to form
in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the 1933
Act,  the  1934 Act and the  related  published  rules  and  regulations  of the
Commission thereunder and generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) stating
in effect  that,  on the basis of certain  agreed  upon  procedures  (but not an
examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards) consisting
of a reading of the latest available  unaudited interim financial  statements of
the Bank  prepared by the Bank,  a reading of the minutes of the meetings of the
Board of Directors  and members of the Bank and  consultations  with officers of
the Bank responsible for financial and accounting  matters,  nothing came to its
attention  which caused it to believe that:  during the period from that date of
the  latest  audited  financial  statements  included  in  the  Prospectus  to a
specified date not more than five business days prior to the date hereof,  there
was any material increase in borrowings by the Company or the Bank (increases in
borrowings  (which shall not include  deposits)  will not be deemed  material if
such increase in total borrowings  outstanding does not exceed $1.0 million); or
there was any material  decrease in surplus and reserves of the Bank at the date
of such letter as compared with amounts shown in the latest audited statement of
condition  included in the Prospectus or there was any material  decrease in net
income  or net  interest  income  of the  Bank  for the  number  of full  months
commencing  immediately  after the period  covered by the latest  audited income
statement  included in the Prospectus and ended on the latest month end prior to
the date of the  Prospectus  or in such letter as compared to the  corresponding
period in the  preceding  year;  and (iii)  stating  that,  in  addition  to the
examination  referred  to in its  opinion  included  in the  Prospectus  and the
performance of the procedures referred to in clause (ii) of this subsection (e),
it has compared with the general  accounting  records of the Company

<PAGE>

and/or the Bank, as  applicable,  which are subject to the internal  controls of
the Company's and/or the Bank's, as applicable, accounting system and other data
prepared by the  Company  and/or the Bank,  as  applicable,  directly  from such
accounting  records, to the extent specified in such letter, such amounts and/or
percentages set forth in the Prospectus as you may reasonably request;  and they
have found such amounts and percentages to be in agreement therewith (subject to
rounding).

         (f) At the  Closing  Date,  you shall  receive a letter from La France,
Walker,  Jackley & Saville,  dated the  Closing  Date,  addressed  to the Agent,
confirming the statements  made by it in the letter  delivered by it pursuant to
subsection  (e) of this Section 9, the  "specified  date"  referred to in clause
(ii) (C) thereof to be a date specified in such letter,  which shall not be more
than five business days prior to the Closing Date.

         (g) At the Closing Date,  you shall have received a letter from FinPro,
dated as of the Closing Date, confirming its appraisal.

         (h) At the Closing Date,  your counsel shall have been  furnished  with
such  documents and opinions as they may  reasonably  require for the purpose of
enabling  them to pass upon the sale of the  shares as herein  contemplated  and
related  proceedings or in order to evidence the accuracy or completeness of any
of  the  representations  or  warranties,  or  the  fulfillment  of  any  of the
conditions,  herein  contained;  and all proceedings taken by the Company or the
Bank in  connection  with the  Conversion  and the sale of the  shares of Common
Stock as herein  contemplated shall be satisfactory in form and substance to you
and your counsel.

         (i) The Company and the Bank shall not have sustained since the date of
the latest audited financial  statements included in the Registration  Statement
and Prospectus any loss or interference with its business from fire,  explosion,
flood or other calamity,  whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor
dispute or court or governmental action, order or decree,  otherwise than as set
forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement or otherwise provided to the
Agent in  writing  and in any such case  described  above,  is in your  judgment
sufficiently  material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed  with any of the  Offerings  or the  delivery of the Common Stock on the
terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

         (j) Subsequent to the date hereof, there shall not have occurred any of
the following: (i) a suspension or limitation in trading in securities generally
on  the  New  York  Stock   Exchange  or  American  Stock  Exchange  or  in  the
over-the-counter  market,  or  quotations  halted  generally on the Nasdaq Stock
Market,  or minimum or maximum  prices for trading  have been fixed,  or maximum
ranges for prices for securities  have been required by either of such exchanges
or the NASD or by order of the commission

or any other governmental authority;  (ii) a general moratorium on the operation
of commercial  banks,  federal savings and loan associations or savings and loan
associations  in  Pennsylvania  or a general  moratorium  on the  withdrawal  of
deposits from commercial banks, federal savings and loan associations or savings
and loan associations in Pennsylvania declared by either federal or Pennsylvania
authorities; (iii) the engagement by the United States in hostilities which have
resulted  in the  declaration,  on or  after  the  date  hereof,  of a  national
emergency  or war;  or (iv) a  material  decline  in the price of equity or debt
securities  if the  effect  of  such a  decline,  in  your  judgment,  makes  it
impracticable  or  inadvisable  to  proceed  with  any of the  Offerings  or the
delivery  of the  shares  of  Common  Stock  on  the  terms  and  in the  manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.

         If any of the  conditions  specified  in this  Section 9 shall not have
been fulfilled when and as required by this Agreement, or by September 30, 1998,
this Agreement and all of your  obligations  hereunder may be canceled by you by
notifying the Bank of such cancellation in writing or by telegram at any time at
or  prior  to the  Closing  Date,  and any such  cancellation  shall be  without
liability  of any  party to any other  party  except as  otherwise  provided  in
Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 hereof.  Notwithstanding  the above, if this Agreement is
canceled  pursuant  to this  paragraph,  the Bank and the  Company  jointly  and
severally  agree  to  reimburse  you  for  all of  your  out-of-pocket  expenses
reasonably  incurred by you,  including any legal fees to be paid to the Agent's
counsel  which  shall not exceed  $12,500,  and an advisory  and  administrative
services fee of $25,000 in connection with the  preparation of the  Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, and in contemplation of the proposed Offerings.

SECTION 10.  Termination.

         (a) In the  event the  Company  fails to sell all of the  Common  Stock
within the period  specified,  and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan
or as required by the Conversion  Regulations,  this Agreement  shall  terminate
upon refund by the Bank to each person who has  subscribed for or ordered any of
the Common  Stock the full amount which it may have  received  from such person,
together  with  interest  as provided  in the  Prospectus,  and no party to this
Agreement shall have any obligation to the other  hereunder,  except for payment
by the Bank and/or the Company as set forth in Sections 1, 6, 7 and 8 hereof.

         (b) This Agreement may be terminated by the Agent,  with respect to the
Agent's obligations hereunder,  by notifying the Company at any time at or prior
to the Closing  Date,  if any of the  conditions  specified  in Section 9 hereof
shall not have been  fulfilled  when and as required by this Agreement or if the
Conversion has not been completed by September 30, 1998.

December 15, 1997


Board of Directors
Stanton Federal Savings Bank
900 Saxonburg Boulevard
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15223


Dear Board Members:

All  capitalized  terms not  otherwise  defined in this letter have the meanings
given such terms in the Plan of Conversion  adopted by the Board of Directors of
Stanton Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"),  whereby the Bank will convert from a
chartered mutual savings bank to a chartered stock savings bank and issue all of
the  Banks's   stock  to  SFSB   Holding   Company  (the   "Holding   Company").
Simultaneously, the Holding Company will issue shares of common stock.

We  understand  that in  accordance  with the Plan of  Conversion,  Subscription
Rights to purchase  shares of the Bank's Common Stock in the Holding Company are
to be issued to (i) Eligible Account Holders,  (ii) the ESOP, (iii) Supplemental
Eligible  Account  Holders,  and  (iv)  Other  Members.   Based  solely  on  our
observation  that the  Subscription  Rights will be available to such Recipients
without cost, will be legally  non-transferable and of short duration,  and will
afford such  parties the right only to  purchase  shares of Common  Stock at the
same  price as will be paid by members of the  general  public in the  Community
Offering,  but without  undertaking  any independent  investigation  of state or
federal law or the position of the Internal Revenue Service with respect to this
issue, we are of the opinion that:

         the Subscription Rights will have no ascertainable market value; and

         the  price at which the Subscription  Rights are excercisable  will not
              be more or less than the pro forma market value of the shares upon
              issuance.

Changes  in the local and  national  economy,  the  legislative  and  regulatory
environment,  the stock market,  interest rates, and other external forces (such
as natural  disasters or significant  world events) may occur from time to time,
often with great  unpredictability and may materially impact the value of thrift
stocks as a whole or the Bank's value alone.  Accordingly,  no assurance  can be
given that persons who  subscribe  to shares of Common  Stock in the  Conversion
will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at the same price paid in the
Subscription Offering.

                                            Very Truly Yours,
                                            FinPro, Inc.



                                            /s/Donald J. Musso

                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS  AGREEMENT,  is  entered  into  this  18th day of  November  1997,
("Effective  Date") by and between Stanton Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and
Barbara J. Mallen (the "Executive").

                                   WITNESSETH

         WHEREAS,  the Executive has heretofore been employed by the Bank as the
President and is experienced in all phases of the business of the Bank; and

         WHEREAS,  the Bank desires to be ensured of the  Executive's  continued
active participation in the business of the Bank; and

         WHEREAS,  in order to induce the  Executive  to remain in the employ of
the Bank and in  consideration  of the  Executive's  agreeing  to  remain in the
employ of the Bank,  the  parties  desire to specify the  continuing  employment
relationship between the Bank and the Executive;

         NOW  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  the  premises  and  the  mutual
agreements herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1. Employment. The Bank hereby employs the Executive in the capacity of
President.  The Executive  hereby  accepts said  employment and agrees to render
such  administrative and management services to the Bank and to any to-be-formed
parent  holding  company  ("Parent")  as  are  currently  rendered  and  as  are
customarily  performed by persons situated in a similar executive capacity.  The
Executive  shall  promote the business of the Bank and Parent.  The  Executive's
other duties shall be such as the Board of Directors for the Bank (the "Board of
Directors" or "Board") may from time to time reasonably direct, including normal
duties as an officer of the Bank.

         2. Term of Employment.  The term of employment of Executive  under this
Agreement  shall be for the period  commencing on the Effective  Date and ending
November 18, 2000 thereafter ("Term").  Additionally, on, or before, each annual
anniversary  date from the Effective  Date,  the Term of  employment  under this
Agreement  shall be  extended  for up to an  additional  period  beyond the then
effective  expiration date upon a  determination  and resolution of the Board of
Directors  that the  performance of the Executive has met the  requirements  and
standards of the Board,  and that the Term of such Agreement  shall be extended.
References  herein to the Term of this Agreement shall refer both to the initial
term and successive terms.

         3.    Compensation, Benefits and Expenses.

               (a) Base Salary.  The Bank shall compensate and pay the Executive
during  the  Term of  this  Agreement  a  minimum  base  salary  at the  rate of
$96,000.00 per annum ("Base  Salary"),  payable in cash not less frequently than
bi-weekly; provided, that the rate of such salary shall be reviewed by the Board
of Directors not less often than annually,  and the Executive  shall be entitled
to receive increases at such percentages or in such amounts as determined by the
Board of Directors. The base salary may not be decreased without the Executive's
express written consent.

               (b)  Discretionary  Bonus.  The  Executive  shall be  entitled to
participate in an equitable manner with all other senior management employees of
the Bank in  discretionary  bonuses that may be  authorized  and declared by the
Board of Directors to its senior  management  executives  from time to time.  No
other  compensation  provided for in this Agreement shall be deemed a substitute
for the Executive's right to participate in such discretionary  bonuses when and
as declared by the Board.

               (c)  Participation in Benefit and Retirement Plans. The Executive
shall be entitled to  participate in and receive the benefits of any plan of the
Bank which may be or may become  applicable  to senior  management  relating  to

incentive plans, or other plans,  benefits and privileges given to employees and
executives  of the Bank,  to the extent  commensurate  with his then  duties and
responsibilities, as fixed by the Board of Directors of the Bank.

               (d)  Participation in Medical Plans and Insurance  Policies.  The
Executive  shall be entitled to  participate  in and receive the benefits of any
plan or  policy  of the Bank  which may be or may  become  applicable  to senior

eye-care, prescription drugs or medical reimbursement plans.

               (e) Vacations and Sick Leave.  The Executive shall be entitled to
paid annual vacation leave in accordance  with the policies as established  from
time to time by the  Board of  Directors,  which  shall in no event be less than

leave benefit as established by the Board for senior management employees of the

               (f) Expenses. The Bank shall reimburse the Executive or otherwise
provide for or pay for all  reasonable  expenses  incurred by the  Executive  in

               (g) Changes in  Benefits.  The Bank shall not make any changes in
such plans, benefits or privileges previously described in Section 3(c), (d) and
(e) which would adversely affect the Executive's rights or benefits  thereunder,
unless such change  occurs  pursuant to a program  applicable  to all  executive
officers of the Bank and does not result in a  proportionately  greater  adverse
change in the rights of, or benefits  to, the  Executive  as  compared  with any
other executive officer of the Bank. Nothing paid to Executive under any plan or
arrangement  presently in effect or made available in the future shall be deemed
to be in lieu of the  salary  payable to  Executive  pursuant  to  Section  3(a)
hereof.


         4.    Loyalty; Noncompetition.

               (a) The Executive shall devote his full time and attention to the
performance  of his  employment  under  this  Agreement.  During the term of the
Executive's  employment under this Agreement,  the Executive shall not engage in
any business or activity  contrary to the  business  affairs or interests of the
Bank or Parent.

               (b)  Nothing  contained  in this  Section  4 shall be  deemed  to
prevent or limit the right of Executive to invest in the capital  stock or other
securities  of any  business  dissimilar  from that of the Bank or  Parent,  or,
solely as a passive or minority investor, in any business.

         5. Standards.  During the term of this  Agreement,  the Executive shall
perform his duties in  accordance  with such  reasonable  standards  expected of
executives with comparable  positions in comparable  organizations and as may be
established from time to time by the Board of Directors.

         6.  Termination and Termination  Pay. The Executive's  employment under
this Agreement shall be terminated upon any of the following occurrences:

               (a) The death of the Executive during the term of this Agreement,
in  which  event  the  Executive's  estate  shall be  entitled  to  receive  the
compensation  due the  Executive  through the last day of the calendar  month in
which Executive's death shall have occurred.

               (b)  The  Board  of  Directors  may  terminate  the   Executive's
employment at any time, but any termination by the Board of Directors other than
termination  for Just  Cause,  shall  not  prejudice  the  Executive's  right to
compensation or other benefits under the Agreement.  The Executive shall have no
right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination
for Just Cause. The Board may within its sole discretion,  acting in good faith,
terminate  the  Executive  for  Just  Cause  and  shall  notify  such  Executive
accordingly.  Termination for "Just Cause" shall include  termination because of
the Executive's personal dishonesty, incompetence, willful misconduct, breach of
fiduciary duty involving personal profit,  intentional failure to perform stated
duties,  willful  violation of any law, rule or  regulation  (other than traffic
violations or similar  offenses) or final  cease-and-desist  order,  or material
breach of any provision of the Agreement.

               (c) Except as provided pursuant to Section 9 hereof, in the event
Executive's  employment  under  this  Agreement  is  terminated  by the Board of
Directors without Just Cause, the Bank shall be obligated to continue to pay the
Executive the salary provided pursuant to Section 3(a) herein, up to the date of
termination  of the  remaining  Term of this  Agreement,  but in no event  for a
period of less than  twelve  months,  and the cost of  Executive  obtaining  all
health,  life,  disability,  and other  benefits  which the  Executive  would be
eligible  to  participate  in through  such date based upon the  benefit  levels
substantially equal to those being provided Executive at the date of termination
of employment.

               (d) The voluntary termination by the Executive during the term of
this  Agreement  with the delivery of no less than 60 days written notice to the
Board of  Directors,  other than  pursuant  to Section  9(b),  in which case the
Executive shall be entitled to receive only the compensation, vested rights, and
all employee benefits up to the date of such termination.

         7.    Regulatory Exclusions.

         (a) If the Executive is suspended  and/or  temporarily  prohibited from
participating  in the  conduct of the Bank's  affairs by a notice  served  under
Section  8(e)(3) or (g)(1) of the FDIA (12 U.S.C.  1818(e)(3)  and (g)(1)),  the
Bank's  obligations  under the  Agreement  shall be  suspended as of the date of
service, unless stayed by appropriate proceedings.  If the charges in the notice
are  dismissed,  the Bank may within its discretion (i) pay the Executive all or
part of the compensation  withheld while its contract obligations were suspended
and (ii) reinstate any of its obligations which were suspended.

         (b) If the  Executive is removed  and/or  permanently  prohibited  from
participating  in the  conduct of the Bank's  affairs by an order  issued  under
Sections  8(e)(4) or 8(g)(1) of the Federal  Deposit  Insurance Act ("FDIA") (12
U.S.C.  1818(e)(4) and (g)(1)), all obligations of the Bank under this Agreement
shall terminate, as of the effective date of the order, but the vested rights of
the parties shall not be affected.

         (c) If the Bank is in default (as  defined in Section  3(x)(1) of FDIA)
all obligations  under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date of default,
but this  paragraph  shall not  affect  any  vested  rights  of the  contracting
parties.

         (d) All obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, except to
the extent  determined that  continuation of this Agreement is necessary for the
continued  operation  of the Bank:  (i) by the  Director of the Office of Thrift
Supervision  ("Director of OTS"),  or his or her designee,  at the time that the
Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Corporation  ("FDIC")  enters into an  agreement to
provide assistance to or on behalf of the Bank under the authority  contained in
Section  13(c)  of  FDIA;  or (ii) by the  Director  of the  OTS,  or his or her
designee,  at the time  that the  Director  of the OTS,  or his or her  designee
approves a supervisory  merger to resolve  problems  related to operation of the
Bank or when  the  Bank is  determined  by the  Director  of the OTS to be in an
unsafe or unsound condition. Any rights of the parties that have already vested,
however, shall not be affected by such action.

         (e) Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary, any payments made
to the Executive  pursuant to the Agreement,  or otherwise,  shall be subject to
and  conditioned  upon  compliance  with 12 USC ss.1828(k)  and any  regulations
promulgated thereunder.

         8. Disability.  If the Executive shall become disabled or incapacitated
to the extent  that he is unable to perform his duties  hereunder,  by reason of
medically determinable physical or mental impairment,  as determined by a doctor
engaged by the Board of  Directors,  Executive  shall  nevertheless  continue to
receive the compensation and benefits provided under the terms of this Agreement
as follows:  100% of such  compensation  and benefits for a period of 12 months,
but not exceeding the remaining  term of the  Agreement,  and 65% thereafter for
the remainder of the term of the Agreement.  Such benefits noted herein shall be
reduced by any benefits  otherwise  provided to the Executive during such period
under the  provisions  of  disability  insurance  coverage  in  effect  for Bank
employees.  Thereafter, Executive shall be eligible to receive benefits provided
by the Bank under the provisions of disability  insurance coverage in effect for
Bank employees.  Upon returning to active full-time employment,  the Executive's
full  compensation  as set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated as of the
date of commencement of such activities. In the event that the Executive returns
to active  employment on other than a full-time basis, then his compensation (as
set forth in Section 3(a) of this  Agreement)  shall be reduced in proportion to
the time spent in said  employment,  or as shall  otherwise  be agreed to by the
parties.

         9.    Change in Control.

               (a) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,  in the
event of the involuntary  termination of Executive's  employment during the term
of this  Agreement  following  any Change in  Control of the Bank or Parent,  or
within 24 months  thereafter  of such  Change in  Control,  absent  Just  Cause,
Executive  shall  be paid an  amount  equal to the  product  of 2.99  times  the
Executive's  "base  amount" as defined in  Section  280G(b)(3)  of the  Internal
Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended  (the  "Code")  and  regulations  promulgated
thereunder.  Said sum shall be paid, at the option of  Executive,  either in one
(1) lump sum  within  thirty  (30) days of such  termination  of  service  or in
periodic  payments  over  the  next  36  months  or the  remaining  term of this
Agreement  whichever  is  less,  as  if  Executive's  employment  had  not  been
terminated,  and such  payments  shall be in lieu of any other  future  payments
which the  Executive  would be otherwise  entitled to receive under Section 6 of
this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the forgoing,  all sums payable hereunder shall
be  reduced  in such  manner and to such  extent so that no such  payments  made
hereunder when aggregated with all other payments to be made to the Executive by
the  Bank or the  Parent  shall be  deemed  an  "excess  parachute  payment"  in
accordance  with  Section  280G of the Code and be  subject  to the  excise  tax
provided at Section  4999(a) of the Code.  The term  "Change in  Control"  shall
refer to (i) the control of voting proxies  whether  related to  stockholders or
mutual  members by any person,  other than the Board of Directors of the Savings
Bank, to direct more than 25% of the outstanding  votes of the Savings Bank, the
control of the election of a majority of the Savings  Bank's  directors,  or the
exercise  of a  controlling  influence  over the  management  or policies of the
Savings Bank by any person or by persons acting as a group within the meaning of
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, (ii) an event

                                        5

<PAGE>



whereby the OTS, FDIC or any other  department,  agency or  quasi-agency  of the
federal  government  cause or bring  about,  without  the consent of the Savings
Bank, a change in the corporate  structure or  organization of the Savings Bank;
(iii) an event whereby the OTS, FDIC or any other agency or  quasi-agency of the
federal  government  cause or bring  about,  without  the consent of the Savings
Bank, a taxation or involuntary  distribution  of retained  earnings or proceeds
from the sale of securities to depositors,  borrowers,  any government agency or
organization  or civic or  charitable  organization;  or (iv) a merger  or other
business  combination  between the Savings  Bank and  another  corporate  entity
whereby  the Savings  Bank is not the  surviving  entity.  In the event that the
Savings Bank shall  convert in the future from  mutual-to-stock  form,  the term
"Change in  Control"  shall  also  refer to: (i) the sale of all,  or a material
portion,  of the assets of the Savings  Bank or the  Parent;  (ii) the merger or
recapitalization  of the Savings Bank or the Parent  whereby the Savings Bank or
the Parent is not the surviving entity; (iii) a change in control of the Savings
Bank or the Parent,  as otherwise  defined or determined by the Office of Thrift
Supervision or regulations promulgated by it; or (iv) the acquisition,  directly
or indirectly,  of the beneficial  ownership (within the meaning of that term as
it is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
and regulations  promulgated thereunder) of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of
the  outstanding  voting  securities  of the  Savings  Bank or the Parent by any
person, trust, entity or group. The term "person" means an individual other than
the Executive, or a corporation, partnership, trust, association, joint venture,
pool, syndicate, sole proprietorship,  unincorporated  organization or any other
form of entity not specifically listed herein.


               (b)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary,  Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment during the term of
this  Agreement  following a Change in Control of the Bank or Parent,  or within
twenty-four  months  following  such Change in  Contriol,  and  Executive  shall
thereupon  be entitled to receive the payment  described in Section 9(a) of this
Agreement,  upon the occurrence,  or within 120 days  thereafter,  of any of the
following  events,  which have not been consented to in advance by the Executive
in writing: (i) if Executive would be required to move his personal residence or
perform his principal  executive functions more than thirty-five (35) miles from
the Executive's  primary office as of the signing of this Agreement;  (ii) if in
the organizational  structure of the Bank, Executive would be required to report
to a person or  persons  other  than the Board of  Directors  of the Bank or the
Chairman of the Board;  (iii) if the Bank  should  fail to maintain  Executive's
base  compensation  in effect as of the date of the  Change in  Control  and the
existing  employee  benefits plans,  including  material  fringe benefit,  stock
option and  retirement  plans;  (iv) if Executive  would be assigned  duties and
responsibilities  other than those  normally  associated  with his  position  as
referenced  at  Section  1,  herein;  (v)  if  Executive's  responsibilities  or
authority  have in any way been  materially  diminished  or reduced;  or (vi) if
Executive would not be reelected to the Board of Directors of the Bank.

        10. Withholding.  All payments required to be made by the Bank hereunder
to the Executive  shall be subject to the  withholding of such amounts,  if any,
relating  to tax  and  other  payroll  deductions  as the  Bank  may  reasonably
determine should be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

        11.    Successors and Assigns.

               (a) This  Agreement  shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon any corporate or other successor of the Bank or Parent which shall acquire,
directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation,  purchase or otherwise, all or
substantially all of the assets or stock of the Bank or Parent.

               (b) Since the Bank is  contracting  for the unique  and  personal
skills of the  Executive,  the Executive  shall be precluded  from  assigning or
delegating his rights or duties  hereunder  without first  obtaining the written
consent of the Bank.

        12. Amendment;  Waiver. No provisions of this Agreement may be modified,
waived or discharged unless such waiver,  modification or discharge is agreed to
in  writing,  signed by the  Executive  and such  officer or  officers as may be
specifically  designated  by the Board of  Directors  of the Bank to sign on its
behalf.  No waiver by any  party  hereto at any time of any  breach by any other
party  hereto  of, or  compliance  with,  any  condition  or  provision  of this
Agreement  to be  performed  by such  other  party  shall be  deemed a waiver of
similar or  dissimilar  provisions  or conditions at the same or at any prior or
subsequent time.

        13.  Governing  Law.  The  validity,  interpretation,  construction  and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States
where  applicable  and  otherwise  by  the  substantive  laws  of the  State  of
Pennsylvania.

        14.  Nature of  Obligations.  Nothing  contained  herein shall create or
require the Bank to create a trust of any kind to fund any benefits which may be
payable  hereunder,  and to the extent  that the  Executive  acquires a right to
receive  benefits from the Bank  hereunder,  such right shall be no greater than
the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Bank.

        15. Headings.  The section headings  contained in this Agreement are for
reference  purposes  only  and  shall  not  affect  in any  way the  meaning  or
interpretation of this Agreement.

        16.  Severability.  The  provisions  of this  Agreement  shall be deemed
severable  and the  invalidity  or  unenforceability  of any  provision  of this
Agreement  shall  not  affect  the  validity  or  enforceability  of  the  other
provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

        17. Arbitration.  Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
this  Agreement,  or the breach  thereof,  shall be settled  by  arbitration  in
accordance  with the rules then in effect of the district office of the American
Arbitration  Association  ("AAA")  nearest to the home  office of the Bank,  and
judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof,  except to the extent  that the parties  may  otherwise  reach a mutual
settlement of such issue.  Further, the settlement of the dispute to be approved
by the Board of the Bank may include a provision  for the  reimbursement  by the
Bank  to  the  Executive  for  all  reasonable  costs  and  expenses,  including
reasonable  attorneys' fees, arising from such dispute,  proceedings or actions,
or the Board of the Bank or the Parent may authorize such reimbursement of such

                                        7

<PAGE>



reasonable  costs and  expenses  by separate  action  upon a written  action and
determination   of  the  Board  following   settlement  of  the  dispute.   Such
reimbursement shall be paid within ten (10) days of Executive  furnishing to the
Bank or Parent  evidence,  which may be in the form,  among other  things,  of a
canceled check or receipt, of any costs or expenses incurred by Executive.

        18. Entire Agreement.  This Agreement together with any understanding or
modifications  thereof as agreed to in writing by the parties,  shall constitute
the entire agreement between the parties hereto.

                          SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN

         WHEREAS,  Stanton  Federal  Savings Bank ("Bank")  wishes to reward the
years of prior service provided by Barbara J. Mallen, President  ("Participant")
and to continue to retain and to motivate his  performance and dedication to the
Bank and its Board of Directors, and

         WHEREAS,  it is deemed  advisable and in the best interests of the Bank
to offer such  Participant with additional  financial  incentives in the form of
deferred  compensation  to encourage  such continued  employment  service to the
Bank, and whereas an analysis of the retirement  plan of the Bank indicates that
such  Participant  would  receive  a  significant  reduction  in her  retirement
benefits  in the event that her  employment  with the Bank  terminates  prior to
attainment of age 65, whether  voluntarily or as part of a sale or merger of the
Bank;

         NOW  THEREFORE,  BE IT RESOLVED that the Stanton  Federal  Savings Bank
Supplemental  Retirement Plan for the Benefit of Barbara J. Mallen ("Plan"),  be
adopted and implemented effective December 16, 1997, as follows:

Bank and  simultaneous  acquisition of more than 50% of the Savings Bank's stock
(following the Savings Bank's  conversion to stock form) by a parent savings and
loan holding company or bank holding company.

         1.5  "Committee"  means the Board or the  administrative  committee  as

and modification of the Plan hereinafter set forth.

         1.10  "Pension  Plan"  means the  tax-qualified  defined  benefit  plan

                                    BENEFITS

         2.1  Retirement.  Upon a Participant's  termination  from service as an

Article II,  Section 2.4,  commencing on the first  business day of the calendar
month commencing on or after the Retirement Date.  Except as provided at Article
II,  Section  2.2, 2.3 and 2.5 herein,  upon a  Participant's  termination  from

Participant  will be entitled to a benefit equal to 100% of the amount specified
at Article  II,  Section  2.4,  payable on the first day of the month  following
certification of such Disability based upon actual years of service completed as
of such date and without regard to any other provisions  herein to the contrary.
Upon  Disability,  such benefits  payable shall be determined  based upon actual
years of  service,  provided  that such  Participant  shall be  presumed to have
attained not less than age 58 as of such date of Disability.

         2.3 Change in  Control.  All  benefits  payable,  or that would  become
payable if the Participant were to retire prior to such Change in Control, shall
remain payable  thereafter.  Upon  termination of service  following a Change in
Control,  all benefits  shall be deemed payable  immediately in accordance  with
Article II, Section 2.4;  provided that if the  Participant is not yet age 58 as
of such date of  termination  of service and has not yet  completed  at least 25
Years of Service with the Bank, such Participant shall nevertheless be deemed to
be not less  than age 58 as of the date of such  termination.  Further,  that in
order to  calculate  benefits  payable  hereunder,  actual  Years of Service for
benefits  calculation  purposes  following a Change in Control shall include all
years  of  service   remaining  under  any  employment   agreement  between  the
Participant and the Bank. Upon a Change in Control,  all future benefits payable
pursuant to Sections 2.1,  2.2, 2.3, and 2.5 of the Plan,  shall at the election
of the Participant be made in a lump sum

                                        3

<PAGE>



payment  equal to the  present  value of all  future  benefits  payable  to such
Participant.  The interest  rate in effect for a two year U.S.  Treasury Note on
the date of the lump sum payment shall be used for purposes of  calculating  the
present value of amounts payable in accordance with Section 2.4.

         2.4  Benefit  Payments.  The  Participant  shall be eligible to receive
benefit payments
under the Plan, as follows:

         a. The Participant shall be eligible to receive the retirement benefits
provided for under the Pension Plan set forth at Section 4.04 therein;  provided
that the retirement  factor based upon the number of years that the Participants
Early Retirement Date precedes the Participants  Normal Retirement Date shall be
based on the schedule contained hereinafter in lieu of such benefits factors set
forth at Section 4.04 of the Pension Plan, as follows:

         Retirement Age     Adjusted Retirement Factor
         --------------     --------------------------

                  65                100%
                  64                100%
                  63                100%
                  62                100%
                  61                 95%
                  60                 90%
                  59                 85%
                  58                 80%

         b. Benefits  payable  hereunder are exclusive of any benefits  received
under the  Federal  Social  Security  Act or any income tax  liabilities  of the
Participant or Beneficiary.

         c. Benefits  payable  hereunder shall be paid in the same manner and at
the same frequency as benefits payable under the Pension Plan.

         d. Upon retirement by the Participant on or after attainment of age 65,
all retirement benefits due to the Participant shall be calculated in accordance
with the Pension Plan and no additional benefits shall be due in accordance with
the Plan.

         2.5 Benefit Payments Following Death. A Participant  receiving benefits
in  accordance  with Article II,  Sections  2.1,  2.2 or 2.3 shall,  upon death,
continue  to  have  the  balance  of  any  such  payments  due  be  paid  to the
Participant's  Beneficiary for the remainder of the payments due as specified at
Section 2.4.

         2.6  Notice  of  Retirement.   A  Participant  electing  to  retire  in
accordance  with the Plan shall deliver  written notice  ("Notice") to the Board
not  less  than  ninety  (90)  days  prior  to the  actual  Retirement  Date.  A
Participant who terminates service upon death, Disability, or a

                                        4

<PAGE>



Change in Control  shall not be required  to deliver  such Notice in order to be
entitled to receive benefits under the Plan.

         2.7 Alternative Forms Of Benefit Payment. The Committee may at any time
distribute  the benefits  payable with  respect to all future  benefits  payable
pursuant to Sections  2.1,  2.2, 2.3, and 2.5 of the Plan, in a lump sum payment
equal to the present value of all future benefits  payable to such  Participant.
The interest  rate in effect for a 2 year U.S.  Treasury Note on the date of the
lump sum payment shall be used for purposes of calculating  the present value of
amounts payable in accordance with Section 2.4.



                                   ARTICLE III

                                    INSURANCE

         3.1 Ownership of Insurance. The Bank, in its sole discretion, may elect
to purchase one or more life insurance  policies on the lives of Participants in
order to provide  funds to the Bank to pay part or all of the  benefits  accrued
under this Plan.  All rights and  incidents of  ownership in any life  insurance
policy  that  the  Bank  may  purchase  insuring  the  life  of the  Participant
(including any right to proceeds payable thereunder) shall belong exclusively to
the  Bank  or its  designated  Trust,  and  neither  the  Participant,  nor  any
beneficiary or other person  claiming under or through him or her shall have any
rights,  title or interest in or to any such insurance  policy.  The Participant
shall not have any power to transfer,  assign, hypothecate or otherwise encumber
in advance any of the  benefits  payable  thereunder,  nor shall any benefits be
subject to seizure for the benefit of any debts or judgments, or be transferable
by operation of law in the event of  bankruptcy,  insolvency or  otherwise.  Any
life  insurance  policy  purchased  pursuant  hereto  and any  proceeds  payable
thereunder shall remain subject to the claims of the Bank's general creditors.

         3.2  Physical  Examination.  As a condition  of  becoming or  remaining
covered under this Plan, the  Participant,  as may be requested by the Bank from
time to time shall take a physical  examination  by a  physician  approved by an
insurance  carrier.  The  cost of the  examination  shall  not be  borne  by the
Participant.  The report of such examination shall be transmitted  directly from
the  physician  to the  insurance  carrier  designated  by the Bank to establish
certain costs  associated  with obtaining  insurance  coverages as may be deemed
necessary under this Plan. Such examination shall remain  confidential among the
Participant,  the  physician  and the  insurance  carrier  and shall not be made
available to the Bank in any form or manner.

         3.3  Death of  Participant.  Upon the  death  of the  Participant,  the
proceeds  derived from any such insurance policy held by the Bank or any related
Trust, if any, shall be paid to the Bank or its designated Trust.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                            TRUST / NON-FUNDED STATUS

         4.1 Trust. Except as may be specifically provided, nothing contained in
this Plan and no action  taken  pursuant  to the  provisions  of this Plan shall
create  or  be  construed  to  create  a  trust  of  any  kind,  or a  fiduciary
relationship between the Bank and the Participant or any other person. Any funds
which may be invested  under the  provisions of this Plan shall continue for all
purposes to be a part of the general funds of the Bank. No person other than the
Bank shall by virtue of the  provisions  of this Plan have any  interest in such
funds.  The Bank shall not be under any  obligation  to use such funds solely to
provide  benefits  hereunder,  and  no  representations  have  been  made  to  a
Participant  that  such  funds  can or  will be used  only to  provide  benefits
hereunder.  To the extent that any person  acquires a right to receive  payments
from the Bank under the Plan,  such rights shall be no greater than the right of
any unsecured general creditor of the Bank.

         In order to facilitate the  accumulation of funds necessary to meet the
costs of the Bank under this Plan (including the provision of funds necessary to
pay premiums with respect to any life insurance  policies  purchase  pursuant to
Article III above and to pay  benefits to the extent that the cash value  and/or
proceeds of any such policies are not adequate to make payments to a Participant
or his or her beneficiary as and when the same are due under the Plan), the Bank
may enter into a Trust  Agreement.  The Bank,  in its  discretion,  may elect to
place any life insurance  policies  purchased pursuant to Article III above into
the Trust. In addition, such sums shall be placed in said Trust as may from time
to time be approved by the Board of Directors,  in its sole  discretion.  To the
extent that the assets of said Trust and/or the  proceeds of any life  insurance
policy  purchased  pursuant to Article III are not  sufficient  to pay  benefits
accrued under this Plan,  such payments shall be made from the general assets of
the Bank.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                     VESTING

         5.1 Vesting.  All benefits  under this Plan are deemed  non-vested  and
forfeitable  prior to the Retirement Date. All benefits payable  hereunder shall
be deemed 100% earned and non-  forfeitable  by the  Participant  and his or her
Beneficiary  as of the  Retirement  Date.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  all
benefits payable  hereunder shall be deemed 100% earned and  non-forfeitable  by
the Participant  and his or her Beneficiary  upon the death or the Disability of
the Participant, or upon termination of employment following a Change in Control
of the Bank. No benefits shall be deemed  payable  hereunder for any time period
prior to termination of employment prior to the Retirement  Date,  except in the
event of death,  Disability or termination  of employment  following a Change in
Control of the Bank, in which case such benefits shall be immediately payable as
of such date of termination of employment.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                   TERMINATION

         6.1  Termination.   All  rights  of  the  Participant  hereunder  shall
terminate  immediately upon the Participant  ceasing to be in the active service
of the Bank prior to the time that the benefits  payable under the Plan shall be
deemed to be 100% earned and non-forfeitable. A leave of absence approved by the
Board shall not  constitute  a cessation  of service  within the meaning of this
paragraph, within the sole discretion of the Committee.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                      FORFEITURE OR SUSPENSION OF BENEFITS

         7.1  Forfeiture or Suspension  of Benefits.  Notwithstanding  any other
provision of this Plan to the contrary, benefits shall be forfeited or suspended
during any period of paid service with the Bank  following the  commencement  of
benefit payments, within the sole discretion of the Committee.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

         8.1 Other  Benefits.  Nothing in this Plan shall diminish or impair the
Participant's eligibility,  participation or benefit entitlement under any other
benefit,  insurance  or  compensation  plan  or  agreement  of the  Bank  now or
hereinafter in effect.

         8.2 No Effect on Employment.  This Plan shall not be deemed to give any
Participant or other person in the employ or service of the Bank any right to be
retained in the  employment  or service of the Bank,  or to  interfere  with the
right of the Bank to terminate any  Participant or such other person at any time
and to treat him or her without regard to the effect which such treatment mights
have upon him or her as a Participant in this Plan.

         8.3 Legally Binding. The rights,  privileges,  benefits and obligations
under this Plan are  intended  to be legal  obligations  of the Bank and binding
upon the Bank, its successors and assigns.

         8.4  Modification.  The  Bank,  by action of the  Board,  reserves  the
exclusive right to amend,  modify, or terminate this Plan. Any such termination,
modification or amendment shall not terminate or diminish any rights or benefits
accrued by any Participant prior thereto.  The Bank shall give thirty (30) days'
notice in writing to any  Participant  prior to the  effective  date of any such
amendment,  modification  or  termination  of  this  Plan.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  in no event shall such benefits  payable to a Participant  under the
Plan be reduced  below those  provided  for in Section 2.4 herein.  In the event
that the Plan benefits payable under

                                        7

<PAGE>



Section 2.4 of the Plan are  reduced or the Plan is  terminated,  a  Participant
shall be immediately  100% vested in all benefits  calculated in accordance with
Section 2.4 as of the date of such Plan  amendment or Plan  termination  without
regard to such Plan amendment or Plan termination.

         8.5 Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to
any contract or the breach thereof shall be settled by arbitration in accordance
with the Commercial  Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration  Association,
with  such  arbitration  hearing  to be  held  at the  offices  of the  American
Arbitration  Association  ("AAA")  unless  otherwise  mutually  agreed to by the
Participant  and  the  Bank,  and  judgment  upon  the  award  rendered  by  the
arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

         8.6  Limitation.  No rights of any  Participant  are  assignable by any
Participant,  in whole or in part,  either by voluntary or involuntary act or by
operation  of  law.  Rights  of  Participants   hereunder  are  not  subject  to
anticipation,  alienation, sale, transfer,  assignment,  pledge,  hypothecation,
encumbrance  or  garnishment  by creditors of the  Participant or a Beneficiary.
Such rights are not subject to the debts, contracts,  liabilities,  engagements,
or torts of any Participant or his or her Beneficiary. No Participant shall have
any right under this Plan or any Trust  referred to in Article IV or against any
assets held or  acquired  pursuant  thereto  other than the rights of a general,
unsecured  creditor of the Bank pursuant to the unsecured promise of the Bank to
pay the benefits  accrued  hereunder in accordance  with the terms of this Plan.
The Bank has no  obligation  under  this Plan to fund or  otherwise  secure  its
obligations to render payments  hereunder to Participants.  No Participant shall
have any voice in the use,  disposition,  or investment of any asset acquired or
set aside by the Bank to provide benefits under this Plan.

         8.7 ERISA and IRC  Disclaimer.  It is intended that the Plan be neither
an "employee  welfare  benefit plan" nor an "employee  pension benefit plan" for
purposes of the Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974,  as amended
("ERISA").  Further, it is intended that the Plan will not cause the interest of
a  Participant  under  the Plan to be  includable  in the  gross  income of such
Participant or a Beneficiary  prior to the actual receipt of a payment under the
Plan for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended  ("IRC").  No
representation  is made to any  Participant  to the  effect  that any  insurance
policies  purchased by the Bank or assets of any Trust  established  pursuant to
this Plan will be used solely to provide  benefits under this Plan or in any way
shall  constitute  security for the payment of such benefits.  Benefits  payable
under this Plan are not in any way limited to or governed by the proceeds of any
such insurance  policies or the assets of any such Trust.  No Participant in the
Plan has any preferred claim against the proceeds of any such insurance policies
or the assets of any such Trust.

         8.8 Conduct of Participants.  Notwithstanding anything contained to the
contrary,  no payment of any then unpaid  benefits  shall be made and all rights
under the Plan  payable  to a  Participant,  or any  other  person,  to  receive
payments  thereof  shall be  forfeited  if the  Participant  shall engage in any
activity  or conduct  which in the  opinion the Board of the Bank is inimical to
the best interests of the Bank.

                                        8

<PAGE>




         8.9  Incompetency.  If the Bank  shall find that any person to whom any
payment  is  payable  under  the Plan is  deemed  unable  to care for his or her
personal affairs because of illness or accident,  or is a minor, any payment due
(unless  a prior  claim  therefor  shall  have  been  made  by a duly  appointed
guardian,  committee or other legal representative) may be paid to the spouse, a
child, a parent,  or a brother or sister, or to any person deemed by the Bank to
have incurred  expense for such person  otherwise  entitled to payment,  in such
manner and proportions as the Committee, in its sole discretion,  may determine.
Any such payments shall  constitute a complete  discharge of the  liabilities of
the Bank under the Plan.

         8.10 Construction. The Committee shall have full power and authority to
interpret, construe and administer this Plan and the Committee's interpretations
and  construction  thereof,  and  actions  thereunder,   shall  be  binding  and
conclusive on all persons for all purposes. Directors of the Bank and members of
the Committee  shall not be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted
in connection with the  interpretation  and  administration  of this Plan unless
attributable to his or her own willful,  gross misconduct or intentional lack of
good faith.

         8.11 Plan  Administration.  The Board of the Bank shall  administer the
Plan; provided,  however, that the Board may appoint an administrative committee
("Committee") to provide  administrative  services or perform duties required by
this Plan.  The  Committee  shall have only the  authority  granted to it by the
Board.

         8.12 Governing Law. This Plan shall be construed in accordance with and
governed  by the laws of the State of  Pennsylvania,  except to the extent  that
Federal law shall be deemed to apply.  No  payments  of  benefits  shall be made
hereunder if the Board of the Bank, or counsel retained thereby, shall determine
that such payments  shall be in violation of applicable  regulations,  or likely
result in imposition of regulatory action, by the Office of Thrift  Supervision,
the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance   Corporation  or  other  appropriate   banking
regulatory agencies.

         8.13     Regulatory Matters.

         (a) The  Participant  or  Beneficiary  shall  have no right to  receive
compensation  or other benefits in accordance with the Plan for any period after
termination  of service  for Just  Cause.  Termination  for "Just  Cause"  shall
include   termination   because  of  the  Participant's   personal   dishonesty,
incompetence,  willful  misconduct,  breach of fiduciary duty involving personal
profit,  intentional failure to perform stated duties,  willful violation of any
law, rule or regulation  (other than traffic  violations or similar offenses) or
final cease-and-desist order, or material breach of any provision of the Plan.

         (b) Notwithstanding  anything herein to the contrary, any payments made
to a  Participant  or  Beneficiary  pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to and
conditioned   upon  compliance  with  12  USC  ss.1828(k)  and  any  regulations
promulgated thereunder.

         8.14  Successors  and  Assigns.  The  Plan  shall be  binding  upon any
successor or successors of the Bank, and unless clearly inapplicable,  reference
herein to the Bank shall be deemed to include any successor or successors of the
Bank.

         8.15 Sole Agreement.  The Plan expresses,  embodies, and supersedes all
previous agreements,  understandings,  and commitments, whether written or oral,
between the Bank and any Participants and  Beneficiaries  hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof.

Introduction

This report represents FinPro,  Inc.'s ("FinPro")  independent  appraisal of the
estimated  pro-forma  market value of the common stock ( the "Common  Stock") of
Stanton  Federal  Savings Bank (the "Bank" or "Stanton") in connection  with the
Plan of Conversion  ("Conversion") of Stanton from a federally  chartered mutual
savings bank to a federally  chartered stock savings bank.  Pursuant to the Plan
of Conversion, (i) the Bank will convert from a federally chartered savings bank
organized in mutual form to a federally  chartered savings bank organized in the
stock form,  (ii) the Bank will offer and sell  shares of its common  stock in a
subscription and community offering.

It is our understanding that the Bank will offer its stock in a subscription and
community  offering to the Bank's  Eligible  Account  Holders,  to  Supplemental
Eligible  Account  Holders  of the  Bank,  to Other  Participants,  to the board
members,  officers  and  employees  of the  Bank,  and to  the  community.  This
appraisal has been prepared in accordance  with  Regulation  563b.7 and with the
"Guidelines  for  Appraisal  Reports  for the  Valuation  of  Savings  and  Loan
Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization" of the Office
of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") which have been adopted in practice by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation  ("FDIC"),  including the most recent revisions as
of October 21, 1994, and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof.

In the course of preparing our report,  we reviewed the financial  statements of
the Bank's operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 and the
Bank's  operations and  financials  for the prior two years ending  December 31,
1996.  We also  reviewed  the Bank's  Application  for  Approval  of  Conversion
including the Proxy Statement and the Company's Form S-1 registration  statement
as filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission ("SEC"). We have conducted
due diligence  analysis of the Bank and the Company  (hereinafter,  collectively
referred to as "the Bank") and held due diligence  related  discussions with the
Bank's  management  and board,  LaFrance, Walker, Jackley & Saville (the  Bank's
independent  audit firm),  Ryan,  Beck & Company (the Bank's  underwriter),  and
Malizia, Spidi, Sloane & Fisch, P.C. (the Bank's special counsel). The valuation
parameters set forth in the appraisal were  predicated on these  discussions but
all  conclusions  related to the valuation were reached and made  independent of
such discussions.

sources,  which we believe to be  reliable;  however,  we cannot  guarantee  the

market area and reviewed the market area  economic  condition.  We also reviewed
the  competitive  environment  in  which  the  Bank  operates  and its  relative
strengths  and  weaknesses.  We compared the Bank's  performance  with  selected
publicly traded thrift  institutions.  We reviewed  conditions in the securities
markets in general and in the market for savings institutions in particular. Our
analysis  included a review of the  estimated  effects of the  Conversion on the
Bank, operation and expected financial performance as they related to the Bank's
estimated pro-forma value.

In  preparing  our  valuation,  we relied  upon and  assumed  the  accuracy  and
completeness of financial and other  information  provided to us by the Bank and
its  independent  accountants.  We did not  independently  verify the  financial
statements  and  other  information  provided  by the Bank  and its  independent
accountants,  nor  did  we  independently  value  any of the  Bank's  assets  or
liabilities. This estimated valuation considers the Bank only as a going concern
and should not be considered as an indication of its liquidation value.

Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, to be a recommendation
of any kind as the  advisability  of  purchasing  shares of Common  Stock in the
Conversion. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon estimates
and projections of a number of matters,  all of which are subject to change from
time to time,  no assurance  can be given that  persons who  purchase  shares of
Common Stock in the  Conversion  will  thereafter be able to sell such shares at
prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro-forma market value thereof.
FinPro is not a seller of securities  within the meaning of any federal or state
securities  laws and any report prepared by FinPro shall not be used as an offer
or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities.

The estimated  valuation  herein will be updated as  appropriate.  These updates
will consider,  among other  factors,  any  developments  or changes in the Bank
financial condition,  operating performance,  management policies and procedures
and current  conditions in the securities market for thrift  institution  common
stock.  Should any such developments or changes,  in our opinion, be material to
the estimated pro-forma market value of the Bank, appropriate adjustments to the
estimated  pro-forma  market  value  will be  made.  The  reasons  for any  such
adjustments will be explained at that time.

                       HISTORY
- -------------------------------------------------


          o    Stanton Federal Savings Bank was established in 1890 as F.L. Jahn
               Building and Loan Association.

          o    Changed name to Stanton Savings in 1947.

          o    Became member of the FHLB in 1952.

          o    Received  a  Federal  charter  in  1956  and  became  an  insured
               institution with the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp.

          o    Moved to 5200 Butler Street in 1958.

          o    Renovated 5200 Butler Street in 1988.

          o    Constructed new branch office located at 900 Saxonburg  Boulevard
               and became a Savings Bank in September 1996.

          o    Initiated stock conversion process in September 1997.




- -------------------------------------------------
                 STRATEGIC DIRECTION
- -------------------------------------------------


The Board of Directors  of Stanton  Federal  Savings Bank  approved a plan ("the
Plan")  to  convert  from a  federally  chartered  mutual  savings  bank  into a
federally  chartered stock savings institution subject to approval by the Bank's
members.  In connection with the Plan, which includes the formation of a Holding
Company,  all of the  capital  stock of the Bank will be acquired by the Holding
Company.  The Holding  Company will issue shares to depositors of the Bank,  the
community and the public at large. It is anticipated, for planning purposes that
the initial  public  offering will raise gross  proceeds of $5.5 million,  based
upon preliminary appraisal data for the midpoint of the value range.  Conversion
costs are estimated to be approximately $320 thousand at the midpoint.

The Board of  Directors  of the Bank  believes  that the  savings  bank to stock
conversion is in the best interests of all parties associated with the bank. The
resultant entity will:

          o    be  financially  stronger, primarily  as  a  result of additional
               capital;
<PAGE>
Conversion Valuation Appraisal Report                              Page:  1 - 5
================================================================================

          o    be better positioned to compete in the markets the Bank serves;

          o    facilitate   possible  acquisition  opportunities  and   possible
               diversification;

          o    provide access to capital markets;

          o    allow for a wider array of products and services; and

          o    provide  financial  capacity to buy or build critical mass in new
               geographic markets or in the markets it currently serves.

The mutual to stock  conversion  also provides the Bank and its Holding  Company
the corporate flexibility to raise additional capital and further diversify into
bank related activities when such opportunities or needs arise.
The Bank can utilize the Holding Company structure to:

          o    form new subsidiaries;

          o    purchase branches, acquire or merge with other banks, thrifts  or
               financial services related company; and

          o    repurchase its own stock without adverse tax consequences.



The Bank has established  the following major thrusts over a five-year  planning
horizon:

          1.   Converting to a stock institution to raise capital to fund growth
               opportunities and strengthen the capital position of the Bank;

          2.   Planned  core  business  growth of the Bank to grow into  expense
               structure;

          3.   Change in the loan mix to increase  mortgages, home equity loans,
               home  equity  lines  of  credit,   and  limited commercial  loans
               (secured);

          4.   Change of the funding mix toward core deposits and away from time
               deposits.

million,  or 28.81%,  to $37.8 million at September 30, 1997.  Retained earnings
has  decreased  $144  thousand  from $3.6  million at December  31, 1995 to $3.5

Both the  interest  rate  spread and margin have  decreased  for the nine months
ending September 30, 1997, when compared to the same period ending September 30,
1996.  These  declines are the result of both an  increased  cost of funds and a
declining yield on assets.

3.  Comparisons With Publicly Traded Thrifts


- -------------------------------------------------
                     INTRODUCTION
- -------------------------------------------------


This chapter presents an analysis of the Bank's operations  against a Comparable
Group of publicly traded savings institutions. The Comparable Group ("Comparable
Group") was  selected  from a universe of 401 public  thrifts as of November 14,
1997. The Comparable Group was selected based upon similarity of characteristics
to the Bank.  The  Comparable  Group  multiples  provide  the basis for the fair
market  valuation of the Bank.  Factors that  influence the Bank's value such as
balance sheet  structure  and size,  profitability,  income and expense  trends,
capital levels, credit risk, interest rate risk and recent operating results can
be measured  against the Comparable  Group.  The Comparable Group current market
pricing,  coupled with the appropriate  adjustments for differences  between the
Bank and the  Comparable  Group,  will  then be  utilized  as the  basis for the
pro-forma valuation of the Bank to-be-issued common stock.


- -------------------------------------------------
                  SELECTION SCREENS
- -------------------------------------------------


When selecting the Comparables, it was determined that the balance sheet size of
the  institution  was of greater  importance  than geography due to economies of
scale.

The selection screens utilized to identify possible Comparables from the list of
401 public thrifts at November 14, 1997 included:

1.   The IPO date had to be on or  before  June 30,  1996,  eliminating  any new
     conversions.

2.   The conversion type had to be a full standard conversion.

3.   The total asset size had to be less than or equal to $100 million.

4.   The ROAA had to be less than or equal to 0.85%

5.   The current price to tangible book multiple had to be less than or equal to
     165%.

- -------------------------------------------------
                  SELECTION CRITERIA
- -------------------------------------------------


Excluded from the Comparable Group were  institutions  that were pending mergers
or  acquisitions  along with  companies  whose prices  appear to be distorted by
speculative  factors or unusual operating  conditions.  Also,  institutions that
completed  their  conversions  within  the last year were also  excluded  as the
earnings of newly  converted  institutions  do not reflect a full years  benefit
from the  reinvestment of proceeds,  and thus the  price/earnings  multiples and
return on equity  measures for these  institutions  tend to be skewed upward and
downward respectively.

In an  ideal  world,  all  of the  Comparable  Group  would  contain  the  exact
characteristics  of the Bank. The goal of the selection  criteria  process is to
find those  institutions  that most closely match those of the Bank. None of the
Comparables selected will be exact clones of the Bank.

The  members of the  Comparable  Group were  selected  based upon the  following
criteria:

                 1.    Asset size

                 2.    Profitability

                 3.    Capital level

                 4.    Asset mix

                 5.    Operating strategy

                 6.    Date of conversion

1. Asset size The Comparable Group should have a similar asset size to the Bank.
Large  institutions  are  not  appropriate  for  the  peer  group  due to a more
extensive branch network,  greater  financial  strength,  more access to diverse
markets  and more  capacity in terms of  infrastructure.  The  Comparable  Group
ranged in size from $41.7  million  to $97.3  million  in total  assets  with an
average  of $71.9  million.  The  Bank's  asset  size was  $37.8  million  as of
September 30, 1997 and will be $42.3 million on a proforma basis at the midpoint
of the valuation range.

================================================================================

2.  Profitability The Comparable Group should have similar financial  conditions
and  recent  earnings  that are  comparable  to the  Bank.  They  should  show a
comparable  return  on  equity  and  return on  assets  measures.  As such,  the
Comparable  Group have ROAAs  averaging  0.31% and ROAEs averaging 1.49% for the
most recent quarter available. The Comparable Group profitability measures had a
dispersion  about the mean for the ROAA measure ranging from a low of (0.86%) to
a high of 0.80% while the ROAE  measure  ranged from a low of (10.59%) to a high
of 6.60%. The Bank had an ROAA of (0.58%) and ROAE of (5.96%) for the nine month
period ending September 30, 1997.

3. Capital level The Comparable Group should have a capital level similar to the
Bank's.  Capital  is  important  in that it is a  determinant  of asset size and
regulatory rating. Institutions with capital in a similar range as the Bank were
selected. The average equity to assets ratio for the Comparable Group was 14.09%
with a high of 25.04% and a low of 8.65%. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had an
equity to assets ratio of 9.20%.  On a proforma  basis, at the midpoint the Bank
would have an equity to assets ratio of 18.90%.

4.  Asset Mix The asset mix is very  important  in the  selection  criteria  for
Comparables. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had a total net loan to asset ratio
of 30.83%.  The  average  loan to asset  ratio for the  Comparables  was 64.48%,
ranging from a low of 51.58% to a high of 76.81%.

5. Operating strategy An institution's  operating  characteristics are important
because they determine  future  performance.  They also affect expected rates of
return and investor's general perception of the quality, risk and attractiveness
of a given company.  Specific operating  characteristics  include profitability,
balance sheet growth, asset quality,  capitalization,  and non-financial factors
such as management strategies and lines of business.

6. Date of conversion Recent  conversions,  those completed after June 30, 1996,
were excluded since the earnings of a newly converted institution do not reflect
a full year's benefits of reinvestment of conversion proceeds. Additionally, new

4.  Market Value Determination


- -------------------------------------------------
                     INTRODUCTION
- -------------------------------------------------


The estimated pro-forma market value of the Bank, along with certain adjustments
to its value relative to market values for the  Comparable  Group are delineated
in this  section.  The  adjustments  delineated  in this  section  are made from
potential  investors'  viewpoints.  A  potential  investor  includes  depositors
holding  subscription rights and unrelated parties who may purchase stock in the
community offering and who are assumed to be aware of all relevant and necessary
facts as they pertain to the value of the Bank relative to other publicly traded
thrift institutions and relative to alternative investment opportunities.

There are numerous criteria on which the market value adjustments are based, but
the major ones utilized for purposes of this report include:

          o    Balance Sheet

          o    Asset Quality

          o    Earnings Quality, Predictability and Growth

          o    Market Area

          o    Management

          o    Dividends

          o    Liquidity of the Issue

          o    Subscription Interest

          o    Recent Regulatory Matters

          o    Market for Seasoned Thrift Stocks

          o    Acquisition Market

After  identifying  the  adjustments  that should be made to market  value,  the
pro-forma  market value for the Bank is computed  and  adjusted.  The  estimated
pro-forma  market value for the Bank is then compared with the market  valuation
ratios of the  Comparable  Group,  recently  converted  public  thrifts  and the
aggregate ratios for all public thrifts.

- -------------------------------------------------
                BALANCE SHEET STRENGTH
- -------------------------------------------------


The balance  sheet  strength of an  institution  is an  important  market  value
determinant,  as  the  investment  community  considers  such  factors  as  bank
liquidity, capitalization, asset composition, funding mix, intangible levels and
interest  rate risk in assessing the  attractiveness  of investing in the common
stock of a thrift.  Following is a synopsis of the key financial elements of the
Bank measured against the Comparable Group. The numbers utilized for the Bank in
this comparison were on a pro-forma basis.

         Liquidity - The liquidity of the Bank and the  Comparable  Group appear
         similar and were sufficient to meet all regulatory guidelines.

         Capitalization - The Comparable  Group's average equity to assets ratio
         of 14.09% is higher than the Bank's  ratio of 9.20%,  but will be below
         the Bank's pro forma  equity to assets  ratio of 18.90% at the midpoint
         of the valuation range.

         Asset  Composition  - The Bank's  net loan to asset  ratio of 30.83% is
         significantly  below the  average for the  Comparable  Group of 64.48%.
         Management anticipates growing the current ratio.

         Funding  Mix -  The  Bank  is  funded  through  deposits  and  retained
         earnings.  The  Comparable  Group had 12.89% of its  funding  base from
         borrowings  while  the  Bank  has no  borrowings.  The  Bank's  lack of
         borrowings leaves room for an additional funding source in the future.

         Intangible  Levels  - One of the  most  important  factors  influencing
         market values is the level of intangibles  that an institution  carries
         on its books.  The Comparable  Group has a limited level of intangibles
         averaging 0.65%.  Thrifts trade more on tangible book than on book. The
         Bank had no intangibles on its books at September 30, 1997.

         Interest  Rate Risk - The Bank has an average  level of  interest  rate
         risk.

Based on these  factors,  the Bank's  market  value  should not be  adjusted  in
comparison to the Comparable Group for these measures.

================================================================================


- -------------------------------------------------
                    ASSET QUALITY
- -------------------------------------------------

The asset quality of an institution is an important determinant of market value.
The investment community considers levels of nonperforming loans, REO and levels
of ALLL in assessing the  attractiveness  of investing in the common stock of an
institution.

ALLL to Nonperforming Loans                             47.09%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Bank has a moderate level of nonperforming  loans and no REO as of September
30,  1997.  The ALLL to loans  ratio is  0.89%,  which is above  the  Comparable
Group's  0.66%.  Based on these  factors no  adjustment  is  warranted  for this
element.

================================================================================

- -------------------------------------------------
     EARNINGS QUALITY, PREDICTABILITY AND GROWTH
- -------------------------------------------------


The earnings quality,  predictability and growth are critical  components in the
establishment  of market  values for thrifts.  Thrift  earnings are  primarily a
function of:

          o    net interest income

          o    loan loss provision

          o    non-interest income

          o    non-interest expense

The quality and  predictability  of earnings is dependent  on both  internal and
external  factors.  Some internal  factors include the mix of the balance sheet,
the interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet,  the asset quality,  and the
infrastructure  in place to deliver  the assets and  liabilities  to the public.
External factors include the competitive market for both assets and liabilities,
the global interest rate scenario, local economic factors and regulatory issues.

Each of these factors can influence the earnings of an institution,  and each of
these factors is volatile.  Investors prefer stability and consistency. As such,
solid,  consistent earnings are preferred to high but risky earnings.  Investors
also prefer  earnings to be diversified  and not entirely  dependent on interest
income.

The Bank's  earnings  declined  since  December 31, 1995.  The December 31, 1996
financials were impacted by the one-time SAIF special assessment.

The Bank's net interest spread and margin are relatively low.

The Bank has been  posting loan loss  provisions  sufficient  to cover  periodic
charge-offs  and to maintain  solid reserve  ratios.  At September 30, 1997, the
Bank had an allowance  for loan and lease losses  (ALLL) to total loans ratio of
0.89%, which is higher than that of the Comparable Group 0.66%.

The Bank has generated less  non-interest  income than the Comparable Group. For
the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1997  annualized,  the Bank had 0.20% of
non-interest  income to average  assets  compared to the  Comparable  average of
0.44%.

For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997,  the Bank had a  non-interest
expense  to  average  assets  ratio of 3.48%  which was  greater  than the 2.72%
average of the Comparable  Group. On a percentage basis,  non-interest  expense,
net of  non-interest  income  of  0.20%,  is  3.28%,  which  puts  the Bank at a
disadvantage  of 100 basis points with respect to the Comparable  Group's net of
2.28%.

Currently,  investors  are focusing on earnings  sustainability  as the interest
rate  volatility has caused wide  variation in income  levels.  With the intense
competition  for both assets and  deposits,  banks can not easily  replace  lost
spread and margin with balance sheet growth.

The Bank has  experienced  a decline in its net  interest  income and has a high
level of  noninterest  expense.  The Bank has an  nominal  level of  noninterest
income and does  expect to  undertake  any fee  generating  business in the near
term.  Therefore,  a downward  adjustment  is  warranted to the market value for
earnings.

================================================================================

- -------------------------------------------------
                     MARKET AREA
- -------------------------------------------------


The market area that an institution serves has a significant impact on value, as
future success is  interrelated  with the economic,  demographic and competitive
aspects of the market. Specifics on the Bank's market were delineated in Section
2 - Market Area Analysis.

Demographically,  the Bank's markets are not favorable. Population in the market
area  declined by 15% over the fifteen year period  ending 1995.  Population  is
projected to decrease  through the year 2000.  Median income in 1995,  was below
both the county and state  averages  indicating  less  savings  deposits  in the
marketplace.  The housing stock is older than the state average indicating a low
demand for residential  construction loans. Also, the estimated housing value is
low.

Both of the Bank's  markets have  experience  deposit  runoff over the five year
period  ending  June 30,  1996.  The  average  branch size in the markets is low
indicating a high level of competition.

Based on these factors a slight downward adjustment is warranted for this factor
since the Bank will have to substantially outperform other local institutions to
attain growth in this declining market.

================================================================================

- -------------------------------------------------
                      MANAGEMENT
- -------------------------------------------------


The  Bank  has  developed  a good  management  team  with  considerable  banking
experience and length of service with the bank. The Bank, due to its size,  does
not have much depth in management  which limits the strategic  initiatives  that
the Bank may  undertake.  As the  Comparables  are of similar size,  they face a
similar problem.

The Board is active and  oversees  and advises on all key  strategic  and policy
decisions.  The organization  chart appears reasonable for an institution of the
Bank's size and complexity.

As such, no adjustment appears to be warranted for this factor.

================================================================================

- -------------------------------------------------
                      DIVIDENDS
- -------------------------------------------------


Historically,  banks have not established  dividend  policies  immediately at or
after conversion to stock ownership.  Rather, newly converted  institutions,  in
general,  have preferred to establish an earnings track record, fully invest the
conversion proceeds,  and allow for seasoning of the stock before establishing a
dividend policy.  In the late 1980's and early 1990's however,  there has been a
tendency toward initiating dividend policies concurrent with the conversion as a
means of increasing the attractiveness of the issue and to utilize the proceeds.

The last few years  have seen yet  another  shift  away from  dividend  policies
concurrent with  conversion.  Recent issues have been fully or over  subscribing
without  the  need  for  the  additional  enticement  of  dividends.  After  the
conversion is another issue,  however.  Recent  pressures on ROE and on internal
rate of returns to investors  has prompted the industry  toward cash  dividends.
This  trend is  exacerbated  by the lack of growth  potential.  Typically,  when
institutions  are in a growth mode, they issue stock dividends or do not declare
a dividend.  When growth is stunted,  these  institutions  shift toward reducing
equity levels and thus utilize cash dividends as a tool in this regard.

Seven of the ten comparable  institutions  had declared  dividends.  The average
dividend payout ratio for the Comparable  Group was 28.73%,  ranging from a high
of 114.81% to a low of 0.00%.

The Bank will have the capital  levels to afford to pay dividends,  however,  in
the first few years the Bank will be limited by its earnings capacity.  As such,
no adjustment is indicated for this factor.

================================================================================

- -------------------------------------------------
                LIQUIDITY OF THE ISSUE
- -------------------------------------------------


The Comparable  Group is by definition  composed only of companies that trade in
the  public  markets  with all of the  Comparables  trading  on  NASDAQ or AMEX.
Typically,  the  number  of shares  outstanding  and the  market  capitalization
provides an indication of how much liquidity there will be in a given stock. The
actual liquidity can be measured by volume traded over a given period of time.

The market  capitalization  values of the  Comparable  Group range from a low of
$2.7 million to a high of $28.4 million with an average market capitalization of
$11.56  million.  The Bank expects to have $8.0 million of market capital at the
midpoint, or about the average for the comparable group, on a pro-forma basis.

Based on the  comparison  with the  Comparable  Group  and the  above  data,  no
adjustment appears warranted.

                SUBSCRIPTION INTEREST
- -------------------------------------------------


The outcome of  subscription  offerings  has been,  historically,  difficult  to
predict.   Since  1992,   however,   the  conversions  have  experienced  robust
subscription interest with the exception of late 1994 when the pricing multiples
were high. During late 1994, many subscriptions had the need to resolicit due to
lack of professional  investor demand. During 1995, the investor demand returned
and the subscription  interest  increased,  primarily the result of lower market
multiples.  There were some  offerings in July and June 1996 that went off at or
below the  midpoint,  indicating a possible  shift away from  interest in thrift
public  offerings at that time.  The vast  majority of recent  conversions  have
oversubscribed and gone off at the maximum or super-maximum.

Of more  importance  is the general  strength of the  aftermarket.  Thrift stock
prices  have  soared  upwards in recent  months  (see  Figure 43) and is showing
strength across the board. Additionally,  as shown in Exhibit 7, the most recent
conversions  (within  the  last 3  months)  have  demonstrated  a  strong  price
appreciation.

Recently,  there  were two  deals  which  over  subscribed,  which  resulted  in
re-solicitations.

As such, an upward  adjustment  for  subscription  interest is warranted at this
time.

              RECENT REGULATORY MATTERS
- -------------------------------------------------


As a result of large after-market price increases of conversions during 1993 and
early 1994,  the  regulatory  agencies have issued  guidelines on appraisals for
conversions.  The  regulators  publicly  indicated  that only  modest  immediate
after-market  price increases are appropriate for converting  institutions.  The
guidelines  issued  November  22, 1994,  indicate  that the  reasonableness  and
adequacy  of an  appraisal  will be  partially  judged  by the  immediate  price
movement of the conversion  stock in the  after-market,  using a very short time
frame of the second day of trading  following  closing.  The guidelines  further
discuss that the average price appreciation for all IPOs has been between 10 and
15%, which was deemed to be too high.

At around the same time  period,  IPO pricing  was  elevated on a book basis and
IPOs in late 1994 did not experience much appreciation.  In fact,  numerous IPOs
actually  depreciated.  1995 brought  back lower  premiums to book but they have
been rising  throughout 1996 to approximately the same levels as late 1994. 1997
has continued the trend with IPOs popping over 40% on average, for the first day
of trading.

The recent interest in thrift IPOs has caused large oversubscriptions,  which in
turn  have  caused  large  price  appreciations  in the  aftermarket.  Recently,
regulators have been indicating the need for increased  pricing of new issues in
the attempt lessen the  aftermarket  appreciation.  Also,  regulators  have been
concerned with capital  redistributions from thrifts which have converted within
the past three years. Regulatory agencies are publicly indicating that they will
enforce the limits of stock buy backs to: 0% in the first year, 5% in the second
year and 5% in the third year.

This threat to newly converted institutions, of not being able to use all of the
capital markets tools available, will hurt the stocks attractiveness, as it will
put them at a significant competitive disadvantage to the rest of the industry.

As such, a slight downward adjustment for this measure is warranted based on the
uncertainty surrounding the regulatory environment.

As the Figures 43 and 44 illustrate,  the  performance of the SNL index has been
robust through 1992,  1993,  1994 and 1995.  The dip in the index,  occurring in
late 1994,  was the product of the  interest  rate rise during that period along
with the overall  uneasiness  in the stock market in general.  The rate scenario
covering the same period as the SNL index can be seen in the following chart.

                          FIGURE 46 - HISTORICAL RATES

                                [GRAPHIC OMITTED]

As the graph demonstrates,  the rate rise in late 1994 correlates closely to the
fall in thrift prices.  The drop in rates in 1995 was one of the primary drivers
of the rapid rise in the SNL index.  During 1996,  rates increased  slightly and
then remained stable, fueling the rise in the conversion prices. 1997 has seen a
continuation of this trend, with the average IPO pricing at 70.9%, 69.7%, 70.9%,
and 73.6% of book value for the first,  second,  third,  and fourth  quarters of
1997, respectively.
<PAGE>
Conversion Valuation Appraisal Report                              Page:  1 - 67
================================================================================

Thrift pricing in general was robust in 1995 due to the falling  interest rates,
the industry consolidation and renewed earnings.  Contrasting this view, in late
1994  investors  faced  shrinking  spreads and  margins due to rising  rates and
consolidation  that was tailing off and slowing down. The  blockbuster  level of
consolidations  have led many investors to think that all  institutions are fair
game for acquisitions and prices have risen accordingly.

As Figure 45 and 46 show, in 1997,  the SNL index has continued to increase as a
result of the flat interest rate environment.  In addition, the market continues
to demonstrate evidence of acquisition speculation.

As such, a downward adjustment for this measure is warranted, as newly converted
thrifts  will not  trade at the  same  multiples  as  seasoned  thrifts  because
investors  do not  have a  proven  track  record  on  which  to base  investment
decisions.  Additionally, newly converted thrifts need time to reinvest proceeds
and leverage the capital raised in the IPO.

From 1994 through  November  14,  1997,  thrift deal prices  remained  high.  As
illustrated by the following graphs and tables, thrift deal prices as a multiple
of book value and earnings  continue to climb through November 14, 1997, for all
thrifts and thrifts in the Mid-Atlantic  region.  The deal multiples for similar
sized thrifts have begun to level out in 1997.

A slight downward adjustment is warranted for this factor at time of conversion,
since new  conversions  are not readily  available for acquisition for well over
one year  from  the date of  conversion  and  since  the  market  prices  of the
Comparables already have this acquisition premium built in their prices.

              ADJUSTMENTS TO VALUE
- -------------------------------------------------


Overall,  FinPro  believes  that the  Bank  pro-forma  market  value  should  be
discounted   relative  to  the  Comparable   Group,   reflecting  the  following
adjustments.

Key Valuation Parameters               Valuation Adjustment
- -------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------

Balance Sheet Strength                 No Adjustment

Asset Quality                          No Adjustment

Earnings Quality                       Downward

Market Area                            Slight Downward

Management                             No Adjustment

Dividends                              No Adjustment

Liquidity of the Issue                 No Adjustment

Subscription Interest                  Upward

Recent Regulatory Matters              Slight Downward

Market for Seasoned Thrift Stocks      Downward

Acquisition Market                     Slight Downward


As a  result  of  all  the  factors  discussed,  a  full  offering  discount  of
approximately  40% from the average  trading values of the comparable  companies
appears to be reasonable.

                  VALUATION APPROACH
- -------------------------------------------------


In applying the accepted  valuation  methodology  promulgated by the regulators,
i.e.,  the pro-forma  market value  approach,  four key pricing  multiples  were
considered. The four multiples include:

         Price to earnings ("P/E")

         Price to tangible book value ("P/TB")

         Price to book value ("P/B")

         Price to assets ("P/A")

All of the approaches were calculated on a pro-forma basis including the effects
of the conversion  proceeds.  All of the  assumptions  utilized are presented in
Exhibits 8 and 9.

To  ascertain  the  pro-forma  estimated  market  value of the Bank,  the market
multiples for the Comparable  Group,  all publicly traded thrifts and the recent
(1996 to date) standard conversion group were assessed.

Since thrift  earnings in general have had a high degree of volatility  over the
past  decade,  the  P/B  approach  had  gained  in  importance  and is  utilized
frequently as the benchmark for market value. It is interesting to note that the
P/B  approach  is more of a benchmark  than a reliable  valuation  technique.  A
better  approach  is the P/TB  approach.  In  general,  investors  tend to price
financial institutions on a tangible book basis, because it incorporates the P/B
approach adjusted for intangibles.  Most recently, the P/E approach has regained
favor among investors.

The  evidence  of the  movement  towards  the  P/E  Multiple  can be seen in the
acquisition,  trading and IPO  markets.  The P/LTM EPS  multiple for the pending
acquisitions  is 22.7x for all public  thrifts,  the trading P/LTM is 23.48x and
for recent IPO's is 25.1x.

As such,  in  estimating  the market value for the Bank,  the most  emphasis was
placed on the P/E approach. The P/B and P/TB were given much less weight and the
P/A ratio was not given much weight at all.

In terms of the market multiples,  most weight was given to the Comparable Group
and the recent (1997 to date) standard conversions.  Less weight was ascribed to
all  public  thrifts  and  all  Pennsylvania  thrifts.  The  multiples  for  the
Comparable Group, all publicly traded thrifts, and Pennsylvania  publicly traded
thrifts are shown in Exhibit 6.

Based upon the approximately 40% discount defined in the section above, the Bank
pricing at the midpoint is estimated to be $5,500,000.  Based upon a range below
and above the midpoint value,  the relative values are $4,675,000 at the minimum
and $6,325,000 at the maximum respectively. At the supermaximum of the range the
offering value would be $7,274,000.

At the various levels of the estimated value range, the offering would result in
the following offering data:

================================================================================

As the tables above  demonstrate,  a discount of approximately 40% is applied to
the Bank relative to the  Comparable  Group.  When  compared to recent  standard
conversions,  the Bank is priced at a discount on an earnings  basis  (note:  no
core earnings are available for recent standard conversions,  the discount would
be  significantly  reduced on a core earnings  basis) and a slight  premium on a
book basis.

In figure 58, the Recent Conversion  multiple is based on public offerings which
have typically subscribed at the supermaximum. Figure 59 adjusts for this factor
by calculating the discount or premium in comparison to the Bank's  multiples at
the supermaximum.

                 VALUATION CONCLUSION
- -------------------------------------------------


It is,  therefore,  our opinion  that as of November  18,  1997,  the  estimated
pro-forma  market  value of the Bank in a full  offering was  $5,500,000  at the
midpoint of a range with a minimum of  $4,675,000  to a maximum of $6,325,000 at
15% below and 15% above the  midpoint  of the range  respectively.  Assuming  an
adjusted  maximum  value of 15% above the maximum  value,  the adjusted  maximum
value or supermaximum value in a full offering is $7,274,000.  The stock will be
issued at $10.00 per share.

Pro-forma  comparisons of the Bank's value range with the Comparable  Group, all
public thrifts,  Pennsylvania  public thrifts and the recent standard conversion
group is shown in Exhibits 8 and 9.

oriented firm. This provides FinPro with an unbiased platform from which to make

all of the alternatives,  along with their associated benefits and downsides and
that a decision should be made on its merits.  This uniquely positions FinPro as
an objective third party willing to suggest the unpopular strategies, unlike its
competitors who rely on a transaction to get paid.

Buffalo, New York. FinPro focuses geographically on the Mid-Atlantic region, but
has performed work in all other regions across the nation.

FinPro principals are frequent speakers and presenters at financial  institution

quick,  current and precise  analytical  assessments  based on timely  data.  In
addition, FinPros geographic mapping capabilities give it a unique capability to
thematically  illustrate  multiple  issues  and to  provide  targeted  marketing
opportunities to its clients.
